One of the most ironic aspects of the Christian life is that God shows his power through weakness.
This is true for him, and it’s also true for everyone who follows him.
In this 18-week series from October 2013 to April 2014 from the New Testament letter of 2 Corinthians, we’ll see what the Bible teaches us about living upside-down… the life that appears weak but is truly strong.
Here is the plan for the 18-week series. We’d love you to join us to experience the real Jesus as we understand what it means to follow the one who said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
