God’s Wisdom vs. Man’s Wisdom 1 Corinthians 2 | RIOT Podcast

About this Episode

God’s Wisdom vs. Man’s Wisdom 1 Corinthians 2 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.


In this episode of our podcast, we continue Paul’s powerful message in 1 Corinthians 2—a chapter that contrasts God’s eternal wisdom with the fading wisdom of the world.

📖 Last week, we looked at how Paul reminded the Corinthians that the cross, though foolish to the world, is the power and wisdom of God. This week, we see Paul carry that theme forward:

✨ He preached not with eloquence, but with weakness and humility, so that faith would rest on God’s power, not human ability.
✨ He revealed that God’s wisdom, hidden from the rulers of this age, was planned before time for our glory.
✨ He showed that true understanding comes only through the Spirit, who reveals the deep things of God and gives us the mind of Christ.

Key Themes:
✨ Why Paul avoided polished rhetoric in Corinth
✨ How weakness makes God’s power more visible
✨ Why the cross remains the centerpiece of the gospel
✨ The difference between human wisdom and God’s wisdom
✨ How the Holy Spirit gives believers discernment and the mind of Christ

💡 Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, searching for wisdom, or longing for deeper spiritual understanding, this passage reminds us that God’s ways surpass human reasoning. What looks like weakness—like the cross—is in fact His greatest victory.

🙏 Join us as we unpack this chapter verse by verse and discover how to live not by man’s wisdom, but by God’s.
