Foolish Wisdom (2 Cor. 11) [Jay Thomas]

Chapel Hill Bible Church - Sermons

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 2 Corinthians 11 is a weird, exceptional, ironic, and one-off chapter. Paul, having just dropped the mic by saying we cannot boast in our selves but only in the Lord, now goes onto to boast about himself. But here's the thing - he acknowledges the temporary foolishness of his approach, and yet its vital place in his argument - Paul is not going to boast in his strength, but rather his weakness! And by doing so, He actually arrests the attention of this church so they will see Jesus in the power of the Spirit based on the gospel. Paul is going to lead us down a very unusual path, so we actually can get home... to Jesus.
