Artificial Intelligence and the Wisdom of God | First Corinthians

It’s the question dominating our modern world: How should we interact with Artificial Intelligence? In this thought-provoking message, David Jansson brings the ancient wisdom of First Corinthians into our high-tech reality. Acknowledging the rapid rise of AI and the real anxieties surrounding it, David challenges us to examine our relationship with technology through three vital, biblical lenses: formation, fellowship, and fear. While AI can efficiently answer questions and draft emails, it cannot replicate the messy, beautiful, and essential human experiences of deep connection, communal worship, and character formation. This message is a timely call to resist the easy, isolated path of technological reliance and instead intentionally choose the slower, richer way of human relationship and God-centered wisdom. Main Points • Formation over Convenience: How over-relying on AI for tasks can subtly deform our character, eroding our patience and capacity for critical thought. • Fellowship over Efficiency: The biblical truth that humanity was created for deep, interpersonal connection—a reality no algorithm or chatbot can ever replace or fulfill. • Faith over Fear: Why Christians do not need to operate in a posture of fear regarding the future of AI, resting instead in the sovereign victory and eternal wisdom of God. • The Practical Call: A challenge to intentionally engage in uniquely human activities—like sharing a meal, creating original art, or asking a friend for advice—to resist technological isolation.
