Grace for your spirit
And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. I Corinthians 2:4-5
Today people love to follow ministers who look very successful. They are good looking, dress well, have big church buildings, drive big cars, and speak with great eloquence. If we listen carefully, we may find out that they are the message, instead of the truth they should be preaching. Ironically, the two greatest preachers of all times, didn't have any of those things we value today. Jesus and Paul brought forth the power of God. Jesus and Paul didn't sway the crowd with their looks, their stuff, and their great eloquence. They brought souls to God by the power of the Holy Spirit. They hid themselves behind the power of the cross. Let's listen closely to the messages we received today. Are they powered by the world, or powered by the Spirit of the living God.
