The Prodigal Church Pt. 3: Why People Believe What They Believe | Brad Bogue
This sermon examines the themes in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, highlighting the paradox of the cross as articulated by the Apostle Paul. Christ Methodist Family Ministry Director Brad Bogue guides listeners through the interplay of divine wisdom and worldly expectations, emphasizing how the crucifixion embodies apparent contradictions, representing both folly and strength.
His sermon also extends to the role of women in nurturing faith and the challenges faced by early believers, particularly Jewish and Greek communities. Bogue addresses how societal divisions and expectations impact contemporary understanding of God’s grace, urging attendees to reflect on their personal faith journeys in light of the cross.
Ultimately, he encourages a deeper contemplation of God's love revealed through Christ's sacrifice and the call to embrace humility and reliance on divine grace.
