1 Corinthians 2:6-16 (NIV)
Wisdom From the Spirit
6We do,
however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the
wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to
nothing.
7No,
we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and
that God destined for our glory before time began.
8None of the
rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not
have crucified the Lord of glory.
9However, as
it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"—
10but God
has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11For who
among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within
him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the
Spirit of God.
12We
have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from
God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
13This is
what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words
taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual
words.
14The
man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot
understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15The
spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is
not subject to any man's judgment:
16"For who
has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
The
Ministry emphasizes the importance of witnessing and inviting other
young people to participate in this Ministry. We make a special
effort to invite those young people in the surrounding community who
are not members and don’t attend our Sunday School to become a part
of this Ministry. We pray that through our teaching and example,
they will develop a relationship with Christ and become a faithful
member of the church.
It is our
desire to build a program through which God is shaping lives for
adulthood and eternity.
