Allowing Jesus to do the Heavy Lifting.

Hey TRU DISCIPLE Family!!! We hope you all are having a great week. In this weeks episode we dive into Acts chapter 17 from beginning to end after a long sabbatical (lol). We also review 2 Corinthians 2:16-17.

Key Points:

• Paul preaching the gospel in 3 different regions which include Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. In these three different regions we see how the people who live in these particular demographics respond differently to the Gospel. 
• Take notice that in Berea the Jews examined scripture to make sure that what Paul was saying was true. Paul did not get mad at the people for weighing and testing what he said to see if it was in alignment with God's word. This is a visual reminder that regardless of who it is we are still suppose to go to scripture ourselves to allow God to confirm his word to us. Also take note how Paul still had HUMILITY in knowing that the Gospel itself speaks for itself and that there was no self glorification that he could do that the cross had not already done in an even greater capacity.
•  2 Corinthians 16-17- To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God in sincerity, as those sent from God.
