Summary
The sermon emphasizes that the Holy Spirit reveals things that the natural person cannot understand, and that God's gifts are given freely, so preaching should never involve charging people. It also addresses spiritual immaturity, warning believers against jealousy and strife, and reminds the congregation that true Christian living requires walking like Christ, not like the world. Finally, it contrasts the worldly pursuit of honor with the humble, sacrificial service modeled by the apostles.

Welcome and looking at 1 Corinthians 2The speaker welcomes listeners back to study 1 Corinthians chapter 2.
Things God has prepared for those who wait for HimQuoting Isaiah, the speaker compares the longing for God to an engaged girl waiting for the man she loves.Isaiah 64:4
God reveals things through the Holy SpiritThe worldly person cannot understand what the Holy Spirit reveals, which is meant to show us the free gifts of God.
Never charge money for preaching God's wordBecause God gives everything freely, believers should never collect money from unbelievers or believers when preaching the gospel.
Putting spiritual thoughts into spiritual wordsThe Holy Spirit teaches us not through human wisdom or psychology, but by giving us the exact words to express spiritual truths.
Jealousy proves spiritual immaturityHaving jealousy over others' spiritual gifts makes a believer like a baby, acting just like a 25-year-old who still behaves like an infant.
Walking like Christ instead of like other human beingsBelievers who walk in arguments and human ways fail to follow the standard that we must walk like Christ.
Planting, watering, and building materialsEvery worker receives a reward based on whether they build with gold, silver, and precious stones, or with wood, hay, and straw.
The danger of unfaithfulness in little thingsA person can be saved, but an entire life's work of 40 years can be destroyed if they were unfaithful in little things.
True servants do not distance themselves like film starsUnlike kings or film stars who keep people at a distance to gain respect, true servants of God are approachable.
Not bothered by human judgmentThe speaker notes that having a clear conscience means not worrying about human courts or being judged until the Lord comes.
Considered as fools for Christ's sakeWhile others feel strong and distinguished, the apostles are without honors, hungry, thirsty, roughly treated, and without permanent homes.
Working with our own hands and enduring persecutionTrue servants work with their own hands, bless people, and quietly endure persecution and false stories told about them.
