Our culture may be obsessed with power, but Paul reminds us that God’s power works in a completely different way — through weakness, humility, and grace. We are merely jars of clay: fragile and ordinary, yet entrusted with the priceless treasure of the gospel. God’s strength shines most brightly when our own efforts fail, revealing that the power to change lives belongs to him alone. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how God’s power in weakness transforms our frailty into a vessel for his glory.
