The Paradox Of Weakness

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Feb 22, 2025

This morning we looked at St. Paul's teaching about Weakness, and the Paradox of the fact that the weaker he was, and of course, the weaker we are, the greater we can see God as He uses us as a painter uses a canvas.

Good morning. We read from Paul, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. I hope to show you this morning, as we look at Paul’s message to the Corinthians, that these might just be some of the most comforting words that you can find in the Bible.

An Outline Of Acts 19:21-41

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 1, 2023

The loss of one's livelihood might well cause normal people to do some strange things. When Paul was in Ephesus, one man's speech to his co-workers led to a riot! How it started and ended is strange indeed.

Introduction: These last verses of Acts 19 show some of the opposition Paul faced as he taught the Truth of God and God’s Word to the people in Ephesus. Paul had seen the Lord work in a number of ways; now, he was going to experience some of the hatred the devil had for him and for all those who ...read more
