Paul is crazy!! In chapter 2, he paints a picture of a life lived in the power of the Spirit of God while celebrating weakness, fear of God and humility. Nothing would have seemed more absurd to his readers, yet they could not deny that God's power had moved through him...they had seen and experienced it! On Sunday, we will look at the message Paul is desperately trying to get through their thick skulls...a life lived for others in the power of the Holy Spirit that requires little on their part but to let God do what only God can do through them. This message of Paul is crucial to our understanding of the rest of his letter, and I can't wait to look at it on Sunday and see how it changes us!
