Competent in Christ
Where does our competency as followers of Jesus come from? Is it about our skill or effort? Or is it a work of God in and through us? Paul’s competence as an apostle was questioned and challenged by some in Corinth. Paul’s reply shows that his confidence came not from anything in himself, but rather from Christ. Like Paul, our competence as disciples comes from Christ. We grow more competent for the life to which we are called the more we walk with and rely on Jesus.
From Series: "Strength in our Weakness (2 Corinthians)"
COVID has been exhausting on many levels. Even as it appears that in some ways that we are coming out of the pandemic, in many ways the disruption is far from over. So many changes, upheavals, and canceled plans have left many exhausted, discouraged, and stressed – sometimes beyond what we even realize. We need strength. We need encouragement. God provides this in abundance through His grace. This summer, we will be focus on encouraging words from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians in our worship series “Strength in our Weakness.”
