How Well Do You See? (6 of 30)
Series: The Book of 1 Corinthians

I Corinthians 2:9-16
August 11, 2004
INTRODUCTION:
1. Our lesson last week had to do with the "Wisdom and
Power of God." Paul talked about his feeling of inadequacy--not in His God, nor in his message, but in himself. He said in (vs. 3), "And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling."
a. He realized that without the power of God upon his
ministry, what he said and what he did would have little effect. That's a good lesson for all of us. Our dependence is to be completely on the Lord (vs. 5).

and spirit.
a. The body: The body is the house or tabernacle that contains both soul and spirit. The body is made of the dust of the earth. Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground."

c. The spirit: Man's spirit is his "God-

1) God has placed in every man a spirit--a
spirit with the capability of knowing Him (Romans ...
