In this sermon, the speaker discusses the judgment of God upon Israel due to their disobedience. The speaker emphasizes that God protected his people and directed his favor towards them, but eventually dealt with them to break them apart. The ministry of the good shepherd, represented by Jesus, is mentioned, highlighting his care for his people.

David Servant delves into Paul's ministry in Corinth, emphasizing the contrast between human wisdom and the divine revelation of the gospel. Paul's focus on preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified, rather than relying on persuasive words of wisdom, highlights the power of God over the wisdom of men. Believers are portrayed as possessing a hidden wisdom from God, predestined for their glory, which includes forgiveness, spiritual rebirth, and a heavenly home. The importance of humility in receiving God's wisdom is underscored, as pride hinders true wisdom and aligns with worldly wisdom. Paul's reference to the rulers of this age possibly alludes to demonic spiritual rulers who unwittingly played a role in Christ's redemptive sacrifice, outwitted by God's divine plan.

John Chrysostom preaches on the significance of the Last Supper, emphasizing the solemnity and importance of partaking in the body and blood of Christ. He highlights the betrayal of Judas, the need for humility and faith, and the warning against partaking unworthily. Chrysostom stresses the unity believers have with Christ through the sacrament, urging vigilance, purity, and reverence during communion. He addresses both recipients and ministers, emphasizing the responsibility to discern and safeguard the sanctity of the Eucharist, urging the exclusion of those living in open sin from partaking in the mysteries.

T. Austin-Sparks addresses the complex relationship between the soul, spirit, and evil spiritual powers, emphasizing that while the soul can be influenced by demonic forces, true identity and victory for believers lie in their spiritual union with God through Christ. He explains that many suffer from mental and physical afflictions that can lead to feelings of despair and self-doubt, but these do not define their status as children of God. Sparks distinguishes between demon domination and possession, warning that the enemy seeks to exploit the soul's vulnerabilities. Ultimately, he encourages believers to recognize their spiritual reality and the power of Christ over all evil forces, asserting that true service and warfare are rooted in this spiritual understanding.
