June 12 2011 – Audio Sermon on 1 Corinthians 1:18 by Pastor William Hixson

The message of the cross is folly to those who are perishing but the power of God to those being saved The verse contrasts human wisdom with divine wisdom and calls the church to center its proclamation on the crucified Christ It challenges believers to embrace a scandalous gospel that subverts worldly expectations and reveals God’s saving power

Some good hymns for 1 Corinthians 1:18 are Alas and Did My Savior Bleed by Isaac Watts, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross by Isaac Watts and Christ the Lord Is Risen Today by Charles Wesley
