Presentation Title
Life in the Spirit as the Christian Way of Power
Session Number
Breakout session A
Location
Calvary Chapel
Description
Scripture tells us that life in the Spirit is a life of power, but that it is power known in weakness. Too often Christians either accept weakness as an end in itself, or foreign forms of power. In this talk Dr. Strobel addresses the call to know the power of the Spirit that comes upon believers who embrace the way of Jesus.
We cannot ignore the Spirit leading us to a place of weakness rather than the thought of worldly power definition. We hear Jesus say things like "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." But we would rather claim an easier message of the Bible. We would rather ignore the fact of Jesus himself being made perfect in weakness. That the Spirit leading us in our new life involves sacrifice.
With all this to say, let us join Paul in saying: "My power is made perfect in weakness."
