Today’s Sunday School Lesson: The Life of Elisha - I Kings 6-7
A famine resulted in Elisha’s life being threatened by King Joram. Joram did not realize that Elisha was the solution to his problems and not the source. “May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today” (6:31).
Today’s Sermon: I Corinthians 1:18-31 - From Nobodies to Somebodies
The “wisdom of the world” does not lead to God but to moving away from God. Humanism will never place any emphasis on anything other then man as god. We dare not trust the sweetest frame of this world, but only to wholly lean on Jesus’ name. The world through its own self-defined wisdom cannot find God, and God is very happy to save us with a message that the world finds foolish, yet God reveals is profound. The cross is the power of God that saves us from ourselves.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Acts 2:38 - An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "STOP! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.) The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a Scripture to you." "Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!"
