The Power of God

When people who are called by Christ hear the preaching of Christ crucified, we hear God's power and wisdom.

1. Silly? Those not called by Christ consider preaching silly. (v.18)
2. Wise? Other 'wisdom' paths do not lead to God. (v.19-22)
3. Called? Those called by Christ are drawn to know God. (v.23-25)
   Why does preaching have such a polarizing effect?
   How does the same object get such mixed reactions? James 3:15
   Who follows God with their hearts, who does not? Mt.15:8-9
   Where does the power reside? Rom. 1:4 John 10:27
