Foolish Confounds the Wise What if the very thing you trust most is the thing keeping you from seeing God clearly? For centuries, people have struggled with Jesus for the same reason. The Jews wanted power. The Greeks wanted wisdom. The Romans wanted strength. Yet God sent a crucified Savior. What looked foolish to the world became the very wisdom and power of God. In this message, we’ll explore Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1 and uncover why the gospel still challenges our assumptions today. Why do some people embrace the cross while others reject it? Why do we so often trust our own logic, intelligence, expectations, and abilities instead of God’s ways? And what wisdom have we embraced that might be making Jesus harder to recognize? The gospel is not advice about how to become a better version of yourself. It is the announcement of what God has already done through Christ. Because every culture has a kind of wisdom that makes Jesus harder to recognize, but God’s wisdom is still greater than our own. 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? What do you think Paul means when he says, “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise”? Which of the five points from this week’s message stood out to you the most, and why? The gospel doesn’t fit our logic. The gospel cannot be discovered through intelligence alone. The gospel offends our expectations. God uses the wrong people. God’s method doesn’t impress the world. Pastor David said, “The gospel is not advice. It is news.” What is the difference between those two ideas? HEART – How did it make you feel? The message challenged us with this question: “What wisdom have we embraced that might be keeping us from seeing Jesus clearly?” How would you answer that personally? Examples of things that some people trust: Your own logic? Your own experience? Your own abilities? Other people’s opinions? Have you ever found yourself disappointed with God because He didn’t work the way you expected Him to work? Which statement hits closest to home right now? “The cross starts where self-help ends.” “Information can inform the mind, but only revelation transforms the heart.” “God often chooses people human wisdom wouldn’t even interview.” “The power was never in the packaging. The power was always in the message.” HANDS – What are you going to do with it? Is there a situation you’re currently trying to solve through effort, strategy, or control that may require surrender and prayer instead? Who is one person in your life that needs to hear the hope of the gospel? What is one practical step you can take to engage them this week?

In this episode Ken talks about Henry Cloud's book "Necessary Endings" and specifically Dr. Cloud's assertion that there are three kinds of people - wise, foolish, and evil. Ken shares the characteristics of each type of person according to Dr. Cloud, then transitions to discussing where Dr. Cloud's three kinds of people would be on the scale of emotional maturity. He leaves the group with an invitation to evaluate where they find themselves and to ask themselves, on an ongoing basis, "How can I become increasingly more wise?"This episode was recorded on May 29th, 2026.

Life is not measured by how much one owns.'Then Jesus told this story: ‘There was a rich man who had some land, which grew a good crop. He thought to himself, “What will I do? I have no place to keep all my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and other goods. Then I can say to myself, ‘I have enough good things stored to last for many years. Rest, eat, drink, and enjoy life!'”‘But God said to him, “Foolish man! Tonight your life will be taken from you. So who will get those things you have prepared for yourself?”'‘This is how it will be for those who store up things for themselves and are not rich toward God.'” Luke 12:15-21 (NCV)“Jesus said to his followers, ‘So I tell you, don't worry about the food you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest, they don't have storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than birds.'” Luke 12:22-24 (NCV)“Don't store treasures for yourselves here on earth where moths and rust will destroy them and thieves can break in and steal them. But store your treasures in heaven where they cannot be destroyed by moths or rust and where thieves cannot break in and steal them. Your heart will be where your treasure is.” Matthew 6:19-21 (NCV) Terms Learned in This Episode:Mammal: A group of animals that have hair or fur, are warm-blooded, have a backbone, (most) have live births, and feed their babies with milk from their bodies.Eulipotyphla: An order or smaller category of mammals including moles, shrews, and hedgehogs.Eimer's Organs: Tiny touch sensors (sensory receptors) that help a mole know what is around it.Fossorial: Animals that are designed for digging and living underground.Insectivores: Animals that mostly eat insects, spiders, worms, and other small invertebrates.Larder: A place where an animal stores food so it can eat it later.This podcast episode contains paid advertisements.
The book of Proverbs sets before us two paths and two people — the wise and the fool. In this sermon we look at what each looks like, so we can know what a life shaped by the gospel looks like in practice.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 26th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to Deuteronomy 8:17: “…then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.” Then we go to the New Testament, Luke 12:19 (This is a very successful farmer): “And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” 'But what happens after that? The Lord says, ‘Foolish man! This very night your soul will be required of you...”We need to be very careful how we stand, lest we fall. Bragging is a very dangerous thing, and I really want to stress today that the Lord was warning the Children of Israel in the first scripture verse I read to you in Deuteronomy, that all these riches that you had were given to you by Me, not by your own hand, but only by the love of God. Don't forget who gave it to you! We really need to be careful of that one. Never forget to say, if somebody says, “Wow, you have done so well”, - it is only by God's grace.” If we go to James 4:15, instead of bragging, the Bible says we ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that” because we don't know how much time we have left on this earth. So it worries me when I see a young man who has been very successful in sport, commerce, industry, even the ministry, and he starts to take the glory. Never, ever touch God's glory. That is the most dangerous thing you could ever do. We need to let our words be sweet when we talk because one day we might have to eat them! So just say, “God has been kind”. I love to drive around a farm where I see a hard-working successful young farmer and I say, “You have done so well here. Your crops are looking good, your cattle are fat, your sheep are looking great,” and to hear the young man say, “Yes sir, but it is only because of the kindness and the grace of God that I have them.'But when I see a young man who is arrogant, “Oh yes, I am going to work for a couple more years and then I am going to retire, and I am just so pleased with myself.” Be careful, it is only through God's grace.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
Sunday Morning, May 24, 2026Book of Ephesians: Are You Foolish or Faithful Steward? ... Ephesians 5:15-16A message delivered by Richard Fleming
What truly defines readiness for the Kingdom? Yahshua's parables often veiled profound truths, revealing the tension between mere superficial piety and genuine, obedient transformation. Many believe they are ready, but the Parable of the Ten Virgins shows who is truly chosen for Yahweh's Kingdom.
Today, Will Carlisle is joined by Payton Terrell as we continue our study through the book of Galatians. Join us today on Our Daily Rhythm!
Friday, 22 May 2026 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, Matthew 20:3 “And having exited about the third hour, he saw others having stood in the market, inactive.” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus continued the parable of the workers in the vineyard, noting that the housemaster agreed to hire laborers for a denarius and then sent them into the vineyard. He continues now, saying, “And having exited about the third hour.” The Pulpit Commentary does a great job of describing the timing of the day – “It seems that at this time the Jews divided the day, reckoned between sunrise and sunset, into twelve equal parts, the length of these divisions varying according to the season. The day in Palestine at longest consisted of fourteen European hours twelve minutes, and at shortest of nine hours forty-eight minutes, so that the difference between the longest and shortest division of the so called Jewish "hour" was twenty-two minutes. It is usual to consider the Hebrew day as lasting from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the sixth hour corresponding to our noon, the first hour being 7 o'clock and the third 9 a.m. This estimate, though not absolutely correct, is near enough to the fact to serve all expository purposes. The four periods mentioned in the parable are quarters of the working day, in which a proportional part of the day's wages might be earned.” By this time, a quarter of the working day has expired. It might be that in checking the progress in the vineyard, he sees that there is a need for more laborers. Or it may be that at the early hour, these men had not yet arrived at the gathering place. Or it may be that the laborers were there and declined his original offer for one of various reasons. Whatever the case may be, Jesus next says of the housemaster, “he saw others having stood in the market, inactive.” The agora, market, was already seen in Matthew 11:16. It is from ageiro, to gather. It is a place where people gather. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were dragged to the agora before the rulers by those looking for a judgment against them. In Acts 17, Paul witnessed to people in the agora in Athens. One can see that the market was a place where the community gathered for various reasons, including judicial matters, at least in some places. In the case of the housemaster, he was still looking for ready hands to assist in the vineyard. Arriving there, he found some just lolling around twiddling their fingers. Life application: Above, various possibilities were given concerning why the men were in the agora at this hour. Some of them may not have wanted to work in vineyards, instead hoping to get a job laying tile. Others may have been off getting a breakfast burrito when the housemaster showed up. By this third hour, they may be regretting not being more aggressive in getting a job for the day. With each waning hour, the chance of getting hired would go down. Likewise, one would normally get less money for less work. The words, therefore, speak of seizing the opportunities set before you. Each of us must prioritize what we will do throughout the day. Circumstances may not be perfect, but is it more important to work inside laying tile, or is it more important to have a full day's wages to pay for food for the family? The way we look at opportunities will say a lot about where our ultimate priorities lie. Foolish people will stick stubbornly to foolish choices. At the end of the day, they may regret what they decided upon, they may turn to theft to cover their bad choices, or they may lie to their family about why there is no food. And yet, quite often, they will go out the next day and make more bad choices. So we can learn from watching others as much as through our own errors, if we are willing to pay attention. Above all, there is one choice that must be decided upon. As there truly is no guarantee of tomorrow, we should be wise and discerning about this particular choice – “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.' Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:1, 2 Be wise. Call on Jesus today. If you are reading this, it means that you were brought to this commentary for a reason. God has done the necessary work to align your life with this choice. He has also done all that is necessary for you to be saved. All He asks is for you to believe what He has done is sufficient. Accept His offer of peace today. Glorious Lord God, thank You for having brought us to the place where we have heard the message of salvation and applied it to our lives. Help us now to walk faithfully in that salvation all our days. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

As your host completes Week 1 of his Italian sabbatical, he shares some banal observations about the Old World because his provincial and foolish brain cannot do otherwise. But "provincial and foolish" can also describe one Clyde Griffiths, now testifying for his darned life, first attempting to establish his truthiness by means of the relatively friendly interrogation of his own lawyer, Jephson. Now, however, he must face DA Mason, who has been glowering and muttering during the initial testimony; no doubt he's smacking his lips as he confronts his prey on cross-examination in today's exciting episode!Support Obscure!Read Michael's substackFollow Michael on TwitterFollow Michael on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The challenge was clear: would we be able to discover a new insight? We found a hook right away and came up with a lot of promising approaches — with lots of methodology along the way — but nothing QUITE worked ... that is, until a newcomer to the shiur who had never learned Mishlei saved the day by suggesting an excellent interpretation! We then learned a few approaches from the meforshim, but that one innovative idea is what made the night a real success!-----מקורות:משלי יז:כהתרגום רס"גתרגום כתוביםגר"אר' זרחיה חןרי"דמצודת דודרבינו יונהעמנואל הרומי-----The Torah content for this month has been sponsored by Meir Areman, l'zeicher nishmas Zelda bas Ziesel, his grandmother, whose yahrzeit is on the 21st of Sivan.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider supporting my work via Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — links below.

Foolish, Sinful, Unlucky Moments Genesis 37:1-11 Jeremiah Morris
What might become possible if, even for a moment, we let ourselves feel cherished… allowing ourselves to feel the care of others as a living presence in our bodies? And what happens to our way of being in the world when we use this as a doorway, returning us to connection, to belonging, to the quiet rhythm of being human together?In this episode, we turn toward a luminous poem by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, and into a conversation about imagination as a way to recover our capacities as we respond to the world. We explore what it means to remember we are held, how that remembrance changes the way we meet one another, and why it may be more foolish not to imagine a world that can be shaped by our care. Along the way, we find ourselves asking: if even one of us begins to live as though we are cherished, what kind of ripple might that set in motion?This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction and Community Engagement03:33 The Power of Imagination10:08 Cherishment and Connection17:12 The Ripple Effect of Cherishment22:14 Choosing Connection Over Isolation30:20 Creating Community SpacesThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

What if we let ourselves linger in this moment of connection? What might happen insideeach body? What might happen in the world as in unison our breaths begin to even and slow? Wouldthe pulsing of our hearts begin to synch, the way heart cells in a petri dish come to keep time witheach other? What is earth if not a great experiment in which we are all both observer and observed?How long could it last, this rhythmic communion between jailor and prisoner, oppressor andoppressed, between fighter and fighter, maker and destroyer, parent and child, liar and believer, all ofus thinking of love? Foolish, perhaps, to imagine such impossible moments. But more foolish not toimagine such things. Even now, I'm thinking of someone. It feels like the moon is inside me.Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerRosemerry's Website wordwoman.comRosemerry's Poetry ahundredfallingveils.com---Join Us Live in 2026Professional Coaching Course, begins July 2-5 2026, OnlineOur year long programme, an opportunity to learn to support others in deep, life giving discovery and development.You can hear us talk about the programme here:www.turningtowards.life/coachingAnd you can read more about it here:www.wearethirdspace.org/professional-coaching-courseTurning Towards Life Live Season 3, from September 2026Our Turning Towards Life live programme of community, learning and reflection runs in six month seasons, in person on Zoom once a month.

Nobody knows the day or the hour. Jesus could come in an instant. Will you be caught flat-footed? This parable is told in response to Peter's question, “What will happen at the end, and what will be the sign of your coming?” Jesus tells this story to address something more important than a date or time. He tells this parable to address our hearts. What will be our posture when Jesus returns? Will we be found as faithful and effective disciples? Or, like this servant, will we be caught flat-footed, indulging in selfish desires and mistreating the people around us?

Rickey Smiley is a nationally beloved stand-up comedian, award-winning syndicated radio host, television personality, bestselling author, and one of the most authentic voices in entertainment today. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickey first captured America's attention through his legendary prank phone calls and breakout performances on BET's Comic View before building a media empire that includes The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, heard in over 70 cities nationwide. A two-time Marconi Award winner, Rickey has starred in multiple television series and specials, including his critically acclaimed Hulu comedy special Foolish. Beyond the laughs, Rickey is a devoted father, grandfather, mentor, and man of deep faith who uses his platform to uplift communities and inspire others. His bestselling memoir, Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith, chronicles his journey through unimaginable grief—including the loss of his eldest son Brandon—and stands as a powerful testament to resilience, service, and the healing power of purpose. Takeaways:Give Your Kids What You Had, Not What You Didn't: Rickey Smiley is unapologetic about raising his children and grandchildren with the same discipline, structure, and old-fashioned home training his grandparents gave him. No negotiations, no iPads as pacifiers, no coddling. In a world where everything right is being called wrong and everything wrong is being called right, Rickey stands firm—because the foundation that built him still works. If you liked who you became, give your kids the blueprint that made you, not the things you missed out on.Men, Put Your Ego Down and Get Help: Rickey Smiley performed comedy shows while crying backstage. He went back on the radio three days after burying his son because eight million listeners needed him. But behind closed doors, he sat on the steps of his kitchen and cried for days. This conversation is a direct message to men—you cannot be too big, too proud, or too successful to grieve, to seek therapy, and to talk about what you are carrying. Rickey's honesty about his own mental health journey, and Mick's personal testimony about how the book Sideshow pushed him into therapy, is the kind of real talk that saves lives.Help People, Protect Your Peace, and Pay It Forward: Rickey's “because” is simple—he wakes up every day to serve, to bless, and to make somebody's life better. But he also delivers a truth that every giver needs to hear: not everybody you help is going to appreciate it. Out of twenty people you pour into, maybe six or seven will say thank you. Be prepared for the disappointment, protect your peace fiercely, and keep pouring anyway—because that is the assignment. Our grandparents and teachers made personal sacrifices so we could have what we have, and the only proper response is to pay it forward. Sound Bytes:“I told God a long time ago, hey, if you get me out of this rut right here, I promise you, I'll serve you to the day I die and try to make somebody life better because of the things that you bless me with.” “You literally on stage, doing joke, doing comedy, performing while you crying on the inside.” “I think that what my grandparents and my parents did for me, it worked for me. It was critical to my development. And if it worked for me, it should work for my kids, because it still works.” Connect & Discover Rickey:Instagram: @rickeysmileyofficialFacebook: @RickeySmileyOfficialYouTube: @RickeySmileyOfficialTikTok: @rickeysmileydigitalWebsite: RickeySmiley.comShow: The Rickey Smiley Morning ShowBook: Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith
