Title: The message of the cross

Text verse: 1 Corinthians 1: 22–24

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Message:

We proclaim the crucified Lord as the power and wisdom of God.

Summary:

  • Essential signs of the truth of the gospel are love for God and love for others.
  • The cross is an inexplicable mystery that can only be accepted in faith and can only be understood to a certain degree.
  • When we proclaim the crucified Lord, we pro­fess Him as the power and wisdom of God.
