With chapter 3 Paul begins to bring this epistle to a close, but in doing so, we are privileged to see a wonderful model as Paul demonstrates how his team’s confidence lay not in human plans, promotion, programs, or human personalities, but in the Lord Himself.

And the two most potent weapons he has issued to us as His followers are the Word of God (specifically the Gospel of Jesus Christ) and prayer! 

In this brief passage, Paul appeals to the church to faithfully utilize both for the glory of God!

 Romans 1:16 tells us that “the gospel is the power of God [Dunamis] for the salvation of everyone who believers. Again, in 1 Cor 1:18 Paul states, “the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

Enjoy the rest of the message.

Blessings,
