1 Corinthians 1:1-31
Paul is calling out the Corinthian church for not walking with Jesus and basically operating out of the flesh. Today it’s so true of us as a body of believers and is definitely an uphill battle to attempt to walk with the Spirit every minute of every day. Paul’s words are striking and really call us to strip ourselves of worldly wisdom and pride thinking somehow we as people are who lead people to the gospel. In reality Jesus leads people to the gospel. 
Paul makes a statement about being sent to preach the gospel, not just baptize people; doesn’t want to be known for acts of baptism. Why? Because yes baptism is great, but that’s not where it truly counts, or where you gain an active follower of Christ. He challenges us to bring Jesus with us wherever we go, not in human wisdom but by the Spirit. Wisdom is not what connects hearts to Christ, His crucifixion is what changes the heart. It is a change of the heart, not the mind, which is the job of the Holy Spirit within people. God doesn’t call us to be ‘wise’ or all knowing to be followers of Christ or bring people to Christ. He made the world’s wise, foolish by redeeming us through the simple act of Jesus death and resurrection. Simple in the sense that all we have to understand at our most basic level is that OUR GOD died for us. He humbled himself before His people, His creation, to the lowest of low and set that as the bar. 
Jesus calls us to love others so well that all they could do is see it as divine, in the midst of our sin. 

The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Proverbs 22:4
