God's Simple Tools (6 of 40)
Series: Living Under Kingdom Authority
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
1 Corinthians 1.26-31
We're learning these days what Living Under Kingdom Authority looks like from the book of 1 Corinthians. So turn with me to 1 Corinthians where we're going to begin reading in a few minutes, where we left off this morning beginning in verse 26. Before we wrap up chapter 1 in our study, let me ask something:
*how many of you were valedictorian or salutatorian of your graduating class?

You may wonder if God can use somebody like you. You didn't make ''Who's Who.'' You didn't even make ''Who's Not.'' and you're wondering if God can use somebody like you. Friend you are kind of person God is looking to use, did you know that? Well, He is!
In fact that's what we find beginning in verse 26. Let me remind you from this morning that Paul is in the middle of contrasting the wisdom of man and the wisdom of God. He ended this morning by saying in verse 25, ''Because of the foolish ...
