Wana appKilling It: A Study Of 1 CorinthiansChikamu
When Paul says he did not preach with wisdom or eloquence it doesn’t mean he used poor logic or bad grammar—very much to the contrary.
It meant he deliberately identified with those of low status; and lived among them as a servant. He defied ‘conventional wisdom’ of making your life about getting ahead.
We preach “Christ crucified.”
In a world where honor was proof of merit, and shame was proof of worthlessness, Jesus experienced the deepest, most public, most de-humanizing shame known to the ancient world.
And this is what Paul leads with.
Either Jesus was not as great as they thought…
Or greatness is going to have to be re-defined.
Human flourishing is going to have to be re-defined.

"For the message of the cross if foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18
