This sermon emphasizes Paul's commitment to preaching Christ crucified, a message that appears narrow but touches every aspect of life. Paul’s manner matched his message—he came in weakness, fear, and trembling, feeling vulnerable before the Corinthians and humble in God's presence. He rejected worldly wisdom and relied solely on the power of the Spirit, demonstrating humility while boldly proclaiming Christ’s authority. The message empties us of pride but fills us with confidence in God's faithfulness. Ultimately, our faith should rest not in human wisdom but in the power of God through Christ crucified.
