After spending nine intense days among persecuted Christians in Jos, Nigeria, Dr. McDermott reminds us that following Jesus requires great sacrifice. Nigerian Christians, many who are Anglicans, in Jos are suffering great religious cleansing. In the midst of great fears, our brothers and sisters are ministering and sharing the gospel in ways reminiscent of the New Testament. Listen to Fr. Gerry's encouragement and challenge preached on the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost.
What is weakness? Should we strive to be weak? What did Paul mean when he said "I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses?" This week, Fr. Michael completes our 2 Corinthians series with a recap of what it means to be jars of clay and helps us to understand God's strength in our own weakness.
In 2 Corinthians 4:16 Paul said that even though our outward man is perishing, our inward man is being renewed day by day. Does Paul mean that the treasure of the gospel is merely housed in jars of clay and that our bodies are not important? Listen to lay preacher Ben Williams explain how Paul's gospel promises the redemption of our entire being, not just our inward being.
