2:3 "I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling" I feel that anxiety, uncertainty, and complete vulnerability when you strive to follow the will of God. That level of trust and abandonment is difficult and scary sometimes.

I just found your channel and you two are amazing women of God! I am a cradle Catholic and 59 years old - married 41 years with 2 grown daughters and 4 Grandchildren. I am inspired by your videos!!

Thanks ladies

I just dont know where to put this but I have to share. I am in Az for 3 days. I watch bisvbs and LEARNED there is a reliquarium in Mesa. I got to go today. I was there a long time praying for my kids vision and a bunch of other things. Blown away. Thanks Beth and BIS.

WOW!!! I've known many professing Catholics but I've * NEVER - EVER - EVER * known any who studies the Bible. I am sooo impressed at this Bible study that is true Bible study. I found this site by accident looking for 1 Corinthians 2. Such a blessing to come here.

What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,”e 10 f this God has revealed to us through the Spirit. I have been humming the hymn since I read this passage. Thank you so much for these BIS VBS sessions. I love the format.

Thank You sooooooo much! You just made my day totally!!!

Beth, verse 2 was also my take away! My NAB says, "...speak of nothing but Jesus Christ..." In the Navarre commentary Bible it says this about verse 1-3: "The Apostle had come to Corinth from Athens, as we know from Acts of the Apostles (17:16-34); in that city he had not made many converts, despite his brilliant discourse in the Areopagus. This fact, and the moral corruption of Corinthian society, may explain his arriving "in much fear and trembling" (v. 3); he must have felt that he had a difficult task ahead of him. As it turned out, he must have met many difficulties: our Lord appeared to him at night in a vision to comfort and encourage him: "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent; for I am with you" (Acts 18:9-10). St. Paul, therefore, putting no reliance on carefully argued speeches, proclaims Christ crucified, to make sure that faith is grounded on God alone. "St. Paul sums up his entire message here-"Jesus Christ and him crucified". The Church, on whom it devolves to continue the mission of the apostles, does nothing but make Jesus Christ known: "Our spirit is set in one direction," Pope John Paul II points out; "the only direction for our intellect, will, and heart is towards Christ our Redeemer, towards Christ, the Redeemer of man. We wish to look towards him-because there is salvation in no one else but him, the Son of God-repeating what Peter said, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life' (Jn 6:68). The Church lives his mystery, draws unwearyingly from it and continually seeks ways of bringing this mystery of her Master and Lord to mankind - to the peoples, the nations, the succeeding generations, and every individual human being - as if she were ever repeating, as the Apostle did, 'For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified' (1 Cor 2:2). The Church stays within the sphere of the mystery of the Redemption, which has become the fundamental principle of her life and mission" (Redemptor hominis, 7). "Every Christian, for his part, should try to see that those around him "desire to know Jesus Christ and him crucified and that they be firmly convinced and with the most heartfelt piety and devotion believe that no other name under heaven has been given to men by which we may be saved (cf. Acts 4:12), since he is the expiation for our sins (cf. 1 Jn 2:2)" (St Pius V Catechism, introduction, 10)."
