This is my first sermon as pastor of Stark Methodist Church, and I wanted to begin honestly and faithfully—with God’s Word. In this message, I reflect on Paul’s words from 2 Corinthians about boasting in weakness rather than strength, and I share a bit about my own weaknesses as a pastor and a follower of Jesus. My hope is to point us all to the grace of Christ, whose power works best not when we are strong, but when we depend on Him.
