Big Idea: The Word became flesh and dwelt among us Main Points: 1. Who is the Word? 2. What did He do?

Big Idea: God destroys the wisdom and strength of this world for the glory of his name Main points: 1. Self-Evaluation (v. 26) 2. God Moves Against Worldly Wisdom (v. 27-29) 3. My Response (v. 30-31) Public Scripture Reading Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10-25 Note From Pastor Jordan: What is the wisdom of this world and why does God hate it so much? The answers to these questions shape our understanding of life itself as a believer. When a person is saved from the penalty of sin & death by Jesus’ blood, they are to draw from a new source of wisdom. Genuine believers draw from a wisdom that relies on God’s strength, character, and the truth. God’s wisdom points us to look outside of ourselves for the answers to life’s biggest questions. While worldly wisdom hopelessly pursues selfish vanity, Godly wisdom quietly seeks God for help through every circumstance. The world hates this kind of wisdom because it points out their need for God.

Public Scripture Reading Text: Luke 22:7-13 Main Text: Luke 22:14-20 Main Points: 1. Purpose-driven Fellowship (v. 14-18) 2. A Powerful Picture (v. 19-20) Note From Pastor Jordan:       Galatians 3:24-26, (ESV) “So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith." This week we take time to remember Jesus’ broken body and spilt blood that secures our salvation. I am well aware that this is a monthly habit of ours, but it is important that we not let it become boring or unfruitful in our lives. One of the biggest ways our salvation affects us today is in our view of sin. We must view sin as an ugly reflection of our old sin nature. Our sin also points us to our great need for a savior. It is through the law, confronting our sins, that we see our need for such a savior.
