”Church Matters: The Foolishness of God” - Rev. John Gorin

Podcast Episode: The Foolishness of God In the series finale of "Church Matters," we explore Paul’s letter to a Corinthian church struggling to find its identity amidst a culture obsessed with **money, sex, and power**. While the world demands visible signs of strength and sophisticated intellectualism, the Gospel offers something seemingly contradictory: a crucified Messiah. This episode dives into the tension between worldly "wisdom" and the "foolishness" of the Cross. We examine the ancient influences of the **Stoics, Epicureans, and Sophists**—the influencers of their day—and how their pursuit of self-mastery and pleasure mirrors our modern scramble for status and technological dominance. Join us as we learn to rest in the peace and trust of a God who has already won the battle. The church matters because we are the messengers and the living embodiment of a Gospel that truly saves.
