God alone is wise, and yet he sure has a strange way of showing wisdom. That's the essence of Mark Buchanan's sermon for this week. Consider the Cross, which Paul admits seems like utter folly to the world. Then consider the church: God chooses a strange clientele—people like you and me. Read this sermon, and capture a vision for God's incomparable wisdom.
