Weak and Strong

Series: Paradox

Date preached: 17th March 2024

A paradox is something that appears to be impossible or untrue, but is actually true. Jesus spoke often in paradoxes. In today’s message, Matt looks at Jesus telling Paul “my power is perfected in weakness”. What did Jesus mean and what does this ancient paradox mean for us living in 21st century Australia?

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. Before today’s message, how strong would you have said you were?

2. How does it make you feel to hear Jesus say “my strength is made perfect in weakness”?

3. What is one area of weakness in your life that you need to trust Jesus in?

4. How could your life look different this week if you could say confidently “I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in difficulties … for when I am weak, then I am strong”?
