Church in the City, Pt. 4: "We are Weak"

from New Life Downtown · host Glenn Packiam

Is Christianity the religion of the weak or of the strong? The young church in Corinth seemed to think faith in Christ meant always being at the top of pile, reigning like kings; they had moved beyond the Gospel to a kind of spirituality that worked with their love of success and status. Paul wants them to know that the 'self-made person' and the 'spiritual triumphalist' are both lies, facades for their true god: self. Pastor Glenn Packiam shows the futility of both lines of thought, calling us to cling to Christ alone, whether we are strong or weak, rich or poor, wise or foolish. In the end, it is when we confess our weakness that we find the strength of God?s love.
