Would you turn to 1 Corinthians, please, the first chapter.

1 Corinthians, chapter 1st, chapter 1.

Thanks be to God.

First Corinthians chapter 1, beginning in about verse 18 here 1 Corinthians 1 18 he said the the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness look at this reading it from the other side.

People who find the teaching, preaching of the word and the gospel,

foolish, they are perishing.

That's an indication they're lost if you have no respect for the gospel and for the word. But to us, which are saved, the indication that you're

saved is that you love the gospel.

And it's, it's to us, it's the power of God.

Everybody say power of God.

Power of God.

It's the power of God.

Now, isn't this amazing?

One person heard it, and to them is just foolishness.

Just nonsense.

Another heard it, and it was the power of God.

The power of God that changed them and made them a new creation in Christ Jesus.

So is the manifestation of God's power affected by whether you believe in it or not?

This is a great revelation.

I said, is the manifestation of God's power affected?

Not just his power, but the manifestation of it.

When, where, how his power is manifested, is that affected by if you believe in it or not?
