No Other Power | No Other King
No Other King: “No Other Power”
1 Corinthians 1:18-20, Galatians 5:22-25
God was doing something NEW in the world, FOR the WORLD.
A Kingdom that would showcase an entirely different way of LIVING.
The apostle Paul realized, Jesus WASN’T an ADD-ON.
1 Corinthians 1:18-20
v.18 “For the MESSAGE of the CROSS is FOOLISHNESS to those who are PERISHING, but to us who are BEING SAVED it is the POWER of GOD.”
“Peter replied, REPENT and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of JESUS Christ for the FORGIVENESS of your SINS.”
Acts 2:38
The ‘Fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT.’
The Holy Spirt is the one who gives us FAITH and The Holy Spirit also begins to inform our CONSCIENCE.
Galatians 5:22-25
v.22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, goodness, FAITHFULNESS, gentleness and self-control.”
These are all RESPONSES.
v.25 “Since we LIVE BY the SPIRIT, let us KEEP in STEP with the Spirit.”
“Where is the WISE person? Has not God made FOOLISH the WISDOM of the WORLD?”
1 Corinthians 1:20
This is not a statement about the value of a group of PEOPLE, this is a statement about the value of an ETHIC.
The Church has always said, ‘It’s NOT that God made US better. Our ethic, our WAY OF LFE is superior because it comes from the SPIRIT of God and that RESULTS in a BETTER life.
No other King, only Jesus and only Jesus’ Church, has the message of ETERNAL LIFE and the message of a BETTER LIFE for EVERYONE!
