1 Corinthians 1:18-20
- Everyone wants to know “How can I really live?”
- This passage spells out two fundamental ways to answer this question. The world’s wisdom or God’s wisdom.
- How does man in his wisdom view God’s wisdom (the cross)?
- How does God view man’s wisdom? Can we have it both ways?
- If you think I am a fool and I think you are a fool, what will our relationship be like?
- Establish the wide gulf in the two ways of viewing and living life.
1 Corinthians 3:18-20
- Why does Paul say “Do not deceive yourselves?”
- There is something about the world’s wisdom that is deceiving.
- It is easy to convince ourselves that what we want to believe, what is comfortable, what is familiar, is right.
Matthew 16:13-17
- What kind of man was Peter? Was he religious?
- He certainly gets a right answer here.
- According to Jesus, where does this answer come from?
Matthew 16:21-23
- What does “Peter rebuked him” mean?
- Peter thought he was seeing things God’s way, but in reality he was still on the side of the world’s wisdom.
- We can know the right answers and still be living according to the wisdom of the world. What was Jesus’ response?
- Where does the world’s wisdom really come from? From Satan. No wonder it is the opposite of God’s wisdom.
