In this week’s sermon, Pastor Sonny explores Paul’s approach to preaching the Gospel with a focus on the power of Christ crucified, rather than relying on eloquent rhetoric or worldly wisdom. He emphasizes that the true power of the message lies within the Gospel itself, demonstrated through the Holy Spirit, not in the messenger’s abilities. Pastor Sonny encourages listeners to trust in God’s power and grace when sharing the Gospel, understanding that faith is a gift from God.
1 Corinthians 2:1–5
2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
