In the last passage, Paul contends to make the message of the cross central at the Church of Corinth. Now, Paul builds on the importance of the message of the cross by highlighting the way the message of the cross must be delivered. Paul delivered the Message in Humility, Single Heartedness, Honesty, Holy Spirit-Power, and Hope. Paul’s servant posture in delivering the message of the cross is the same posture that will bring true unity to a Church if they chose to follow in his example.

Word of the Cross | 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Paul talks about the instrument and mechanism which Jesus launches himself into the middle of our lives, and how that instrument has become the way we might experience kingdom living.

In a world dividing and pulling apart from each other, let us press into the center and cling to Jesus. Division in a community is because of an individual’s divided heart. However, when followers return to the center, they are held together by the gravitational pull of love for Jesus.

In this passage, we learn about prayers needing to be persistent, the heart posture must be right, and the pursuit of the Kingdom must be seen through the faith of a child. We are looking at the last phrase of the Jesus prayer "a sinner." It is not calling yourself a sinner to describe your past, but to declare your dependancy on the righteousness of God, through Christ Jesus.

This week we will be looking at the “Son of God” portion of the Jesus prayer. Because Jesus is the “Son of God” it means he has the power of restoration. Restorative work from the fall. Jesus is the exact image of the invisible God. This Aliso means Jesus is equal with God. Then lastly, Jesus has the authority from God as the Son. In the culture of Rome the title was left for Caesar alone, but early Christians denied Caesar as God and believed Jesus as the Son of God. www.everwellchurch.com @everwellchurch

In week 1 we will highlight Jesus as Lord of all, savior of souls, and the anointed one of God. When we recognize in what name and power we come in, our hearts are tuned to the truth of heaven. We believe that not only is Jesus God, but is able to release kingdom power into our world.

Paul in this passage is pleading with the Christians in Rome to use proper judgment in their Christian freedom. Not using their freedom to move forward on their path while creating barriers and stumbling blocks for others on theirs. Paul gets to the heart of the matter, by telling them that the heart posture matters. That the kingdom of God is not what you put into your stomach, but what comes out of your heart.

Paul now explains in this passage how we must keep Love Supreme in our welcoming and judgment of others. Paul is trying to bring down walls and barriers to unity. We must not condemn each other in secondary issues that manifest in legalism or licentiousness. We are called to judge in light of the Final Judgment. Paul is now appealing for Christians from all backgrounds to make this a reality in their present common life. God has declared both this person and that person to be members of his people. They stand before their maker and their Lord, and must take responsibility for themselves. Christians must learn to respect one another, and to find ways of living out in practice what it means to live to the Lord and to die to the Lord. We must lean into the truth that ‘Mercy triumphs over judgment’.

In this passage, Paul explains to the church in Rome how one must live as a citizen of heaven on earth. How to submit to authorities out of love and unto Christ.
