The Gospel possesses unimaginable power; it is a truly powerful message. But how do we treat this most important message of all time?

In this powerful sermon, Martin turns his attention to the preacher who was arguably the most successful of all time after Jesus: Paul. He examines what Paul says about how he shared the Gospel and his preaching style, because he is certain that we can learn something from this. Paul did not preach according to human wisdom. He wasn’t concerned with sophisticated, rhetorically polished, hermeneutically and exegetically airtight, sterile five-point sermons. We find in his preaching no dramatic structure, no polished rhetoric, and no deliberately placed jokes.
So what was he getting at?

And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come to proclaim to you the mystery of God with eloquent speech or human wisdom. … And I was with you in Weakness and with fear and trembling in many ways; and my message and my preaching did not consist of persuasive words of wisdom, but rather in Award [as shown] of the Spirit and the Power, so that your faith may not rest on human wisdom but on God's power.
1 Corinthians 2:1–5

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not in Proverbial wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be nullified.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, Foolishness; but for us who are being saved, it is power of God. … For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it pleased God to reveal through The Folly of the Sermon the believers to save.
And since the Jews demand signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, we preach Christ crucified—to the Jews a Nuisance and to the nations a Foolishness; but to those who are called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ, God's Power and God's Wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:17–24
