1 Corinthians 2.2 - What Really Matters?

1 Corinthians 2.2 - What Really Matters?

We have just had the joyful privilege of meeting friends, old and new, from different churches. Our friends often share their questions - and some pains - about church life. They hope their secrets are safe with us…no, you won’t hear them now! It is easy to be misunderstood, offended, and confused. We heard tales about how pastor’s dress for leading worship, music wars, building disagreements, youth ministry woes, parking problems, and communion wafers. The lines are drawn and the opinions are deeply entrenched. We listened, spoke some, but we don’t have a pony in those races! How different is Paul in Corinth. Upon arrival he said the only thing that mattered was “Jesus and him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2.2) and he closed wishing them “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit” (2 Corinthians 13.14).
