1. Reread 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5. If possible, listen to the sermon(s) again.

2. Looking back over this sermon and this sermon series, how has God convicted your heart, stirred your affections for Jesus, drawn you closer to Him? How has the Word challenged, confused, or made you ask questions?

3. The church and her people should always stand out from the world. Where do you see this most? Where do you see the most overlap of the world and the church? What about in your own lives?

4. Are you guilty of overcomplicating the gospel? How so? How does this text/sermon help simplify?

5. The Bible over and over and over again reiterates how bad, evil, dead, broken, and sinful we are. While this can be discouraging at times, how is it also a source of encouragement for those of us weho are in Christ?

6. “The Word of the cross”
