Christ Crucified: God's Revealed Wisdom Conquers Our Self-Deception

Worship Center - Messages

Stop deceiving yourself.

That might sound a bit harsh, but that's the warning Paul shares in 1 Corinthians 3: 1-23.

We can think we aren't controlled by our sinful nature when in reality, we are. And we can think we have wisdom because we are basing it on the world's standards. That's self-deception.

Humans will strive to gain wisdom of this world. That's human wisdom gained by human effort. We know scripture says that's foolishness.

Paul had evidence to show how people were still being controlled by their sinful nature and self-deception. This week, Pastor Matt guides us through that evidence with four questions we can use to examine ourselves to avoid deception.

Ultimately, God's wisdom is revealed, not gained.
