1 Corinthians 1:22-23

The stories full of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty that the worldly media feeds us daily can have an impact on our faith.

A paradox is a truth that appears contradictory but proves to be profoundly true. At the heart of Christianity stands the greatest paradox of all—the cross. Through the death of Jesus, sinners receive life, the guilty receive forgiveness, and the condemned receive hope. In this series, we will discover how God's power is displayed through apparent weakness, His kingdom advances through unlikely people, and our hope and victory are secured through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Together, these paradoxes reveal that God's wisdom and ways are far greater than human understanding.
