Sermons on 1 Corinthians
The Preaching of the Cross at Corinth (40 mins)
At Corinth, a city steeped in philosophy and religious tradition, the message of Christ crucified stood in stark contrast to what people expected. To the Greeks, who prized intellectual wisdom, and to the Jews, who looked for miraculous signs, the cross seemed foolish. But to those who believe, it is revealed as the power of God. This sermon challenges the listener to see the cross of Christ at the very heart of God’s plan to save sinners.

A More Excellent Way
