1 Corinthians 1:18,21

Have you ever been deeply wounded? Maybe felt judged or condemned? These guided audio meditations are about how God can heal you through the care of others. Someone you can be vulnerable and honest with. Someone you can trust with being your true self. Someone to believe with you in the healing, restorative ways of God’s saving power. We pray these meditations will help you find that person.

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.

The Corinthian church—perhaps like ours—was struggling with division, immaturity and immorality. The apostle Paul pulls no punches, but points them to the cross; because “to us who are being saved it is the power of God”.
