1 Corinthians 11:23 - 26

Sermon
Isaiah 55
Jesus as Saviour

We are in spirtual trouble. As if we are trapped in a rip current.
Jesus reaches in and pulls us out.

Joshua
Jesus
Two different translations of 'God Saves'

vs 1 -3

Wealth as a trap.
The Babylonians gave the Jewish exiles wealth so as to assimilate them.
The same happens today when we give in to the trappings of middle class lifestyles.

We are meant to be in a relationship with God.
We can pretend He isn't there or we can become self obsessed.

vs 6, 7
God is waiting for us. He wants to restore us.

But we have to take His offered hand.

He has done it.
Forgiveness of sins and giving us new life.

1st
Galatians 3

1 Corinthians 2
The Holy Spirit Instructing God's people.

The giving of the Holy Spirit follows the Resurrection.

vs 13 Human wisdom vs God's wisdom.

Demonstration of the Spirit's power.
vs 14
Paul wanted them to be convinced by something that couldn't be refuted.

People being born again; a demonstration of God's Spirit.

Revelation of God's wisdom.

vs 7 - in first person.

It's not a mystery. There is no mysticism.

The point of the Spirit is to give us understanding of what God has given us.
Don't miss the fullness of God's wisdom.

The Spiritual Person.
Someone who realises that God has blessed them in order that they might be a blessing to others.
We have the mind of Christ.
Being about the Father's business.

To have the mind of Christ is essentially a corporate experience.
