Listen Later

In today’s episode, Pastor Gil Dirmann shares a devotion from 1 Corinthians 2, reflecting on Paul’s realization after preaching in Athens. Though his message was intellectually brilliant and culturally relevant, the results were limited. Paul concluded that while clear communication and wisdom have their place, true spiritual transformation does not come through human persuasion. Instead, it comes through the demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s power. This episode reminds listeners that sharing the gospel is not about convincing people through clever words or arguments, but about faithfully sharing the message while relying on the Holy Spirit to reveal truth and bring lasting change in people’s hearts.

March 17 – Joshua 9–12; 1 Corinthians 2
