In today’s first service, Pastor Joseph Ice delivered a thought-provoking sermon on the importance of being spiritually minded, rooted in the teachings of 1 Corinthians 2:1-14.
Pastor Joseph began by contrasting two kinds of wisdom: the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God. He emphasized that while the natural man relies solely on the five senses, the spiritual man is attuned to realms beyond the physical. This divine wisdom, often perceived as foolishness by worldly standards, holds profound truths that transcend human understanding.
Highlighting 1 Corinthians 2:14, Pastor Joseph reassured the congregation that being spiritually minded means not being disheartened when others fail to understand or relate to your spiritual experiences. Such insights are spiritually discerned and beyond the grasp of the natural man.
The sermon urged everyone to make a conscious choice about what to subject their minds to. Desire must lead to action, and as Romans 12:2 advises, we must be intentional in shaping our thoughts by focusing on God. Pastor Joseph challenged everyone to clearly articulate their life’s purpose or assignment, as a lack of clarity indicates a deeper need for spiritual discernment.
He concluded by affirming that God’s word is a builder, capable of transforming lives when we choose to be spiritually minded and fix our attention on divine truths.
