God's Hidden Mystery - Christ in You | 1 Corinthians 2:6-13

Understanding God's Wisdom Leading to our Surrender | 1 Corinthians 1:19-31
God's way is not our way. This is more than just a cliche, it is helps us to understand that life cannot be found in the wisdom of the world. The wisdom of the world tells you get get stronger, get smarter, get more control and power and then you will be content in life. But that life is always seemingly just out of reach. But God's way is the opposite. It includes surrender, submission, humility, and weakness. But when we follow His path, we find real life in Him.
The Real Meaning of Baptism | 1 Corinthians 1:17-18

Where the old self was crucified, so that you can be born again as a new creation with Christ living in and through you. Pastor Ross helps us to understand this message of the cross, and how it leads us to experience the power of God today.
