1 Corinthians 1:26-31; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
The point is that we can’t judge a church’s strength or weakness based on outward factors like size, location, prosperity, or prominence. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians points out that a strong church is one that is founded on the message of the cross and grounded in God’s wisdom rather than the world’s.
John 14:1-3
[Jesus said,] "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." —
He's coming back! As much as the world likes to remember Jesus' first coming during the Christmas season, we need to remind them that his Second Coming will be even greater. We want to be prepared — lives dedicated to his glory and hearts full of expectation at his coming.
The forgiveness of the wicked
God sent Jesus to turn the people from inequity:
Acts 3:26
When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
Jesus delivered them from the present evil world:
Galatians 1:4
Who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
