The wisdom of God

Sun, 24th Nov 2013
John Cavanagh
1 Corinthins chapter 1
Summary: 

How big is your Christianity? How big is your God?
The fool has said in his heart there is no God. When we encounter God our views can change. When we trust in God we can gain wisdom for if God is for us who can be against us.
Romans chapter 11 v 35, Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God. Gods wisdom is vastly supreme to human wisdom. There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Our God is all knowing but he is also all wise. Gods wisdom is secret and can only be revealed by him. There are three kinds of wisdom in the bible. Mans wisdom, divine wisdom and secret wisdom.

1)Gods wisdom and the gospel. Wisdom was around before the world was created and when it was created Gods wisdom was in place. The worlds wisdom leads to meaninglessness and destruction. Gods wisdom brings triumph and is power and life to those who believe.
There are four contrasts between the wisdom of the gospel and the wisdom of the Word,
1)Jesus came to die bring life and give hope. We give our lives to get eternal life.
2) He came to love us not himself. Jesus is unsurpassable in love. He loves us, the lost and the afflicted and hurting. We are here to change society not just to fill the church building
3) Jesus came to save and not to subject. Jesus knew he would sacrifice his life but yet he washed the disciples feet.
4) Jesus brings hope not despair. The disciples saw their hope buried in a tomb but he was raised from the dead. He has the words of eternal life and we can be with him.

2) Gods wisdom and your life. Do we know him and have we put our trust in him. If we do this then we are wiser than the world. All the worlds wisdom counts for nothing unless we know Jesus. We need to grow in wisdom to....
get to know Jesus
have his kingdom come (reveal Gods wisdom to the world)
be more like him
How can we grow in wisdom?
We can learn wisdom through our experiences in life. There is wisdom in generosity. Church meetings can help us to grow.
We learn wisdom by asking. God will guide us if we seek him
We gain wisdom by trusting him. We cant always know what God is doing. Sometimes his answers Gods answers aren't what we want but they are what we need. When times are tough we need a revelation from God.
How much better to get wisdom, get wiser, begin today
Get to know him better,
