Paradox of Power

from Church of the Advent - Denver, CO · host Matthew Wolchak

Our world is obsessed with power, but our definition of power is that of direct, forceful power. Jesus models a completely different approach to power, one that’s a paradox: power that doesn’t look like power. Strength that looks like weakness. How should we respond to a Messiah who humbles himself rather than glorifying himself? What does it look like to take up our cross and follow Jesus down the path of left-handed power? Luke Elmers teaches from Matthew 16:21-27.
