join host Rod Smith for a thought-provoking voyage into the unusual, unexplained, and unexplored facets of our world on the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. 1st Corinthians chapter 2Reading done by Brothers Aaron C Davis, Klaus Chavis and Michael Basham! 1 Corinthians 2 continues the themes from the first chapter, emphasizing the wisdom of God over the wisdom of the world. The Apostle Paul describes his approach to preaching, which relied on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than eloquent words or human wisdom. He explains how God's wisdom is revealed through the Spirit, leading to a discussion about the spiritual and natural person.Teaching Points⁠ God's Wisdom vs. Human Wisdom⁠Paul contrasts the wisdom of God with the wisdom of the world, emphasizing that God's wisdom is a mystery revealed by the Spirit (⁠1 Corinthians 2:7-10⁠).⁠The Role of the Holy Spirit⁠The Holy Spirit is essential in understanding God's wisdom, as He searches all things, even the deep things of God (⁠1 Corinthians 2:10-12⁠).⁠Spiritual Discernment⁠Spiritual truths are discerned spiritually, and the natural man cannot accept them because they are spiritually appraised (⁠1 Corinthians 2:14⁠).⁠The Mind of Christ⁠Believers have the mind of Christ, enabling them to understand and apply God's wisdom in their lives (⁠1 Corinthians 2:16⁠).Helpful notes- The wisdom of God over the wisdom of the world. The Apostle Paul describes his approach to preaching, which relied on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than eloquent words or human wisdom.Verses 1-5: Paul's Approach to PreachingPaul recalls his own approach to preaching, not with eloquence or human wisdom, but focusing on the testimony about God, namely Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. He admits that he came to them in weakness and fear. His message and preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power so that their faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.Verses 6-10: God's Wisdom Revealed by the SpiritPaul explains that he does speak wisdom among the mature, but it is not the wisdom of this age or of its rulers, who are coming to nothing. Rather, he speaks God's wisdom, which was hidden and predestined for glory before time began, a wisdom that none of the rulers of this age understood. This wisdom is revealed through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.Verses 11-16: The Natural Person versus the Spiritual PersonPaul distinguishes between the natural person who does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God and sees them as foolishness, and the spiritual person who discerns all things with the mind of Christ.Subscribe Here⁠Join Rod Smith on a journey armed with a seeker's humility and a Biblical lens that never fails to inspire, provoke, and intrigue listeners toward a deeper faith in Christ.
