1 Corinthians 1:1-30
Verse 10- contrary to what people say God commanded us to think the same things.
Verse 21- some people rely on the wisdom of man or their own riches.
God uses simple things to direct attention toward him.
Having some special intellect is not going to get somebody saved but knowing and sharing Christ will.
Verse 27-28 God would rather use someone who is simple to speak for him.
Verse 30 Sometimes people may not think that you are the coolest but you still should be about giving God praise. You may want to say thank you Lord in front of them.
1 Corinthians 1:1-16
Verse 2- You want your light to shine through as a believer.
When you share God, it is a physical thing but it is a spiritual thing.
1 Corinthians 3:1-23
Verse 6- Sometimes you think that it you are affecting people when you speak but it is God that is
working behind the scenes.
Mark 4:1-41
Verse 13- You don’t want a cloud over you and not be able to hear the word of God.
You want to make sure that you are fertile ground and receive the word when someone is speaking the word.
Verse 17- Maybe you heard the word but didn’t really receive it.
Verse 19- Take stock in your own life to make sure you are caring about the things of God. We need to make sure that we clean the weeds out and to make sure that we keep caring about the things of God.
Make sure your heart stays clean.
Verse 20- you want to have some fruit to show for what you say you believe.
