In 1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul declares, “I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” This sermon explores why the person and cross-work of Jesus must remain the non-negotiable center of the Christian life, the church, and every home. We will see that this is not a simplistic slogan but a deliberate decision that rejects the world’s message and methods, and that results in the power of God to save and transform, the wisdom of God that confounds human pride, and a people who boast only in the Lord. Listen and consider whether Christ and him crucified truly holds the center of your life—and decide, with Paul, that nothing else will.
