"Leaving Folly Behind" - 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 - (March 3, 2024 - LENT 3)

In preparing for today’s sermon, I came across a Bible passage that describes me very well. At least it describes me most of the time. Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” Yup, sometimes that thought has crossed my mind. It’s not that I’m a thoroughgoing atheist. Church people get upset by atheism and there’s been a new surge of atheism in recent years. But I have plenty of atheist-like moments meaning, I don’t trust the power of the cross of Jesus Christ, as if it were never there – never happened. Paul says, “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” (1 Corinthians 1:18).
