1 Corinthians 1:17-2:5
The Importance of Church Preaching.
Under Paul’s teaching, we see the challenges and responsibilities that the church faces in spreading the gospel and leading believers.
Paul emphasized that the church should focus on its mission of spreading the gospel,
Avoid disputes and factions,
Because strife leads to division and defeats the purpose of the church.
We should remember Paul’s teachings and regard the cross of Christ as the core message,
Don’t be misled by worldly wisdom and touch people’s hearts with a balanced preaching approach.
Leading everyone to the path of truth and salvation.
Additionally, the scriptures address the challenges the church faces in today’s society.
Many churches have strayed from traditional biblical teachings and pursued worldly wisdom and philosophy;
But the teaching of the cross was ignored.
This deviation prevents preachers from correctly guiding believers;
The church lacks a deep understanding of the Bible.
Therefore, for preachers and church leaders,
It is vital to regain the teachings of the Bible and the teachings of the cross.
Only through in-depth study of the Bible can we re-understand the wisdom and power of God.
Only in this way can we preach the gospel in today's society and lead more people on the road to salvation.
Finally, Paul conveyed to the Corinthian church the message that God’s wisdom surpasses worldly wisdom.
He emphasized humbly accepting God’s grace and not boasting or being arrogant.
It’s about pursuing God’s wisdom and doing His will.
The wisdom we receive in Christ is not worldly wisdom;
It’s about knowing God and doing His will.
Therefore, we should only boast in the Lord,
Be grateful for God’s grace and rely on God’s wisdom and guidance.
Paul used his own preaching experience to emphasize that preaching the cross of Christ was the most important message.
No need for complicated philosophical jargon,
Rather, communicate God’s truth simply and clearly.
These teachings still have important implications for contemporary preaching.
