Living as God's People in a Fractured World

Scriptural Focus: 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.” 1 Corinthians 2:12

Comes Through the Power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:1-4)

  • Faith is not born out of wisdom. (see 1 Cor. 1:23-24)
  • Faith rests on the power of God, revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit Teaches Us How to by Faith. (1 Corinthians 2:10)

  • Living by faith is not just about gaining more information. It is about .

The Holy Spirit Forms a Faithful . (1 Corinthians 2:12)

  • We are led by the Spirit, who draws us toward the Christ and forms us into the one body.
  • The wisdom of the cross something of us. But it also gives us something far greater.

Where in your life right now might God be inviting you to trust His wisdom rather than your own? (In a relationship, decision, conflict, or uncertainty)

How are you creating space for the Holy Spirit to shape not just what you believe, but how you live? (practices, rhythms, or habits, etc.)

What might it look like for us, as a church, to live more fully with “the mind of Christ” in our shared life together?
