Looking Foolish
Speaker: Adam Davis

Joshua 10.12 NLT
On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said, “Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”

1 Corinthians 1.27 NLT
Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.

Ephesians 5.18 NLT
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes FAITH

is just the willingness to look FOOLISH.

Can you think of other biblical characters who did foolish things for God?

Consider 1 Corinthians 1.27. Why do you think God operates this way?

What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Do you think you are currently filled with the Spirit?
