Shaming Wisdom

WCC

WATERFORD COMMUNITY CHURCH - 11:00am SUNDAY WORSHIP

Nov. 28, 2021


1 Kings 18:16-40

  • This is a story about wisdom
  •  Shame is shorthand for being exposed 
    • Worth and value are based on others

 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

  •  Overvaluing human wisdom
  • The cross stands as a sign of God's wisdom
  • Wisdom without the cross is cheap
  • God's wisdom says this is what wisdom looks like!
  • Christ became shame to shame
  • Nothing we have can be an advantage  
  • God's wisdom cannot be "achieved"  
  • The Gospel is an exemplification of God's character  
  • When we boast, something else is shamed

 

Reposition our life

  • Re-evaluate success
  • Redefine "somebody"
