God Chooses the Foolish to Put the Wise to Shame

Holy Cross Day

I Corinthians 1: 18 - 31

Even when God is foolish, he is wiser than everyone else, and even when God is weak, he is stronger than everyone else.

What an amazing and powerful God we have!

God calls us, not because of who we are, but because of who he is, and he knows how to use us for his purposes.

Today, Paul points out what God's main purpose is for calling us to his service. Are we always willing to give him the credit?

This is a great day to sing Micah 6: 8 in Maranatha! Music Praise Chorus Book, 2nd Edition: He has shown thee, O man, what it is the Lord requires of thee.
