1 Corinthians 1:18-31: Sacred Senselessness and Worldly Wisdom

Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Imperial, NE joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

What a joke! That’s what the world might say of God’s plan to save us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. If you’ve ever felt like society mocks the beliefs of Christians, St. Paul reveals why in this part of his Corinthian letter. The wisdom of God makes little sense to a dying world. The Corinthian congregation was mostly made up of people the world would have considered downtrodden and undesirable but God had called them to be saints. In this episode, Pastors Booe and Adle consider the status of the Corinthian saints and how society looks upon Christians today. This episode also features the first “listener mailbag,” where, every Friday, Pastor Booe reads an email or two sent in by listeners to Thy Strong Word.
