Why Christianity Is Foolish to the World | LFC Part 3 | 1 Cor 1 | Sam Oyeyinka

In this sermon, Samuel Oyeyinka continues the expository of 1 Corinthians. Focusing on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, he explains how the wisdom of God contrasts with the wisdom of the world. He emphasizes that the world sees the gospel as foolish because it values worldly wisdom. But to those who believe, the cross is the power of God. The two worldviews are incompatible—believers will always seem foolish to the world.He explains that worldly wisdom cannot lead to God. The world values intellectual pride, self-sufficiency, and material success, but God chooses what the world rejects. Believers must reject worldly thinking and trust in God's wisdom.He makes it clear that the world and the church have different definitions of "the good." The world seeks self-glorification, success, and pleasure. Christians seek holiness, obedience, and eternal life with God. Because their goals are different, they will always oppose each other.Conclusion:He reminds us that the cross is the ultimate wisdom and power of God, and we must reject the temptation to seek approval from the world.Please listen and share.
