Youth Sunday: The Power of Weakness

The power of the foolishness of the Cross and The power of the weakness of Christ’s followers propels us to live differently.1 Corinthians 1:18-31 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy thewisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debaterof this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? Forsince, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom,it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those whobelieve. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preachChrist crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but tothose who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God andthe wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and theweakness of God is stronger than men. For consider your calling,brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, notmany were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what isfoolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in theworld to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in theworld, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so thatno human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of himyou are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God,righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written,“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”We'd love to connect with you https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/224507Would you like Prayer today? https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/382423We pray the New Life Philly Podcast encourages you today! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube at NewLifePhilly.
