Faith vs 'Common Sense". The Problem with the Solution. (Kuponeswa neNyoka)

Why is the most important message in history so hard to believe? In this message, we dive into the "scandal" of the Gospel. For many, the idea of a crucified Savior isn’t just confusing—it’s offensive. But this isn’t a new problem. To understand why we struggle with the Cross today, we have to look back at a strange moment in the desert with Moses and the Israelites. Dying from venomous snake bites, the people were given a "solution" that seemed to defy logic, tradition, and even their own laws: Look at a bronze serpent on a pole to live. In this sermon, we explore: The Paradox of the Pole: Why God uses the very image of our pain to bring our healing. The Intellectual Stumbling Block: Why our "common sense" often keeps us from God’s grace. The "Graven Image" Dilemma: How God’s solutions often break our religious expectations to test our faith. The Direct Link: Why Jesus compared Himself to that bronze serpent in John 3:14. The Gospel is "foolishness" to those who are perishing, but to those being saved, it is the power of God. If you’ve ever struggled with doubts, or if you’ve wondered why the message of Jesus feels so counter-intuitive, this message is for you.
