Natural Wisdom vs. Spiritual Wisdom | LFC Part 5 | 1 Cor 2 | Sam Oyeyinka

Main Texts: 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, Judges 14 (Samson’s riddle), Romans 12:1–2What is the wisdom of God? How do we grow into it? In Part 5 of the Learning from the Corinthians series, Sam explores Paul’s teaching on spiritual maturity—why the gospel message appears foolish to the world but is divine wisdom to the mature. The sermon intricately weaves in the story of Samson and his riddle to illustrate how God's truth often appears as a mystery to those relying on worldly paradigms.This teaching focuses on:The difference between God’s wisdom and the wisdom of this ageWhy some truths of the gospel can only be imparted to the spiritually matureHow spiritual immaturity keeps believers tethered to worldly standardsThe danger of evaluating ministry success by signs, wonders, wealth, or influenceThe essential role of the Holy Spirit in conviction and salvation, rather than performance-based signsThis sermon is a powerful reminder that the Christian life is not just about being saved, but about growing up into the wisdom and mind of Christ. It also critiques the pervasive error of merging worldly definitions of greatness with spiritual success. Please listen and share.
