“Wisdom of Our Age or Wisdom of God?” | GOOD NEWS - Week 2 | August 16, 2026

Are we being shaped more by the wisdom of our culture or by the way of the cross? In this message, Pastor Jason Britt dives into 1 Corinthians 2, drawing powerful parallels between ancient Corinth and our modern culture. Discover what it means to stop adapting Jesus to fit our comfort zones and start living with the mind of Christ in a world that needs a countercultural witness. 💡 Key Takeaways: Corinthian vs. Christian: Just like the early believers in Corinth, it’s easy to let the culture around us shape our instincts more than the gospel does. The World’s Operating System: Human wisdom promises freedom and hides the cost, but the wisdom of the cross tells us the cost upfront and leads to true life. The Mind of Christ: Having the mind of Christ isn't something we achieve—it's something we receive through the Holy Spirit to see people and the world as Jesus does. Distinctly Different: Tension and standing out aren't signs that something is wrong; they are evidence that God's Spirit is active in your life. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Fun "Golf Cart Video" with Pastor CJ & Pastor Jason  02:16 – Say That Again Podcast Season 2 Teaser 03:31 – Welcome & Baptism Celebrations 04:49 – Message Intro: Corinth & 2026 American Culture 07:46 – Historical Context: Population vs. Church Size in Corinth 10:15 – Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:4–16 13:25 – The Problem: Adapting Jesus to Fit Our Comfort Zone 18:12 – The Principle: Two Sources of Wisdom, Two Spirits 22:23 – Deconstructing Cultural Sayings ("You Do You" & "Your Truth") 27:50 – The Panama City Hotel Illustration: What Looks Good vs. The Reality 32:49 – The Path: Choosing Faithful Countercultural Living 35:10 – Three Self-Reflection Questions to Evaluate Your Mindset 40:48 – Running with the Wind vs. The Humidity: Staying the Course 42:48 – Prayer of Blessing  ✝️ Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 2 Jeremiah 17 Philippians 2 We exist to lead people to discover a new life in Christ.
