Worship: January 27th, 2013

On Sunday, January 27th, Pastor Tony continued his sermon series – I Corinthians: Life in the Household of God. In this text, we see that people have one of two perspectives on the “Word of the Cross” given in the Bible.  Worship services on Sunday were at 8:30 and 11:00 AM.

Preaching: Rev. Tony Felich (Sermon Audio Page | Other Sermons)

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
[18] 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. [19] For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” [20] Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? [21] For since, 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 who believe. [22] For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, [23] but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, [24] but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. [25] For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Put Not Your Trust in Princes
[1] Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! [2] I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. [3] Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. [4] When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. [5] Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, [6] who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; [7] who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free; [8] the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. [9] The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. [10] The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
