Episode Synopsis

“Christianity is foolish.” Do you hear people say that? How
about: “Believing in God is so old-fashioned. We’ve progressed beyond needing all those old religious beliefs.” Don’t be surprised. Here’s how the Bible talks about the “foolishness” of Jesus’ cross: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18). God purposefully saved the world in a way that was contrary to human wisdom. In a way that seems foolish. Because it’s not through wisdom that we’re saved. It’s through faith. It’s through believing in the message of the cross. If a being a fool means clinging to the cross of Christ, I’m a fool. I hope you are too! I hope you can listen to this sermon: “The Foolishness of the Cross.” Jesus loves you!
