Acts 18:1; Luke 6:6-11; Matthew 12:9-14; Mark 3:1-6
What is the internal flaw within me that feels like I’ve got to prove myself to others? I know just enough to be dangerous. The even bigger problem comes when I grow over confident in my understanding of a subject, which when further analyzed only reveals a deeper insecurity within. Call it laziness. Call it baseless pride. Call it my struggle to leave my mark on the world. Whatever the case, I don’t like to be wrong, which unfortunately only cripples my ability to see God at work within me. It stunts my growth.
I guess I’m not alone in this matter. In fact we’ll discover this issue when we see how Jesus is confronted by the religious and political leaders of the day. It’s also what Paul encounters when he arrives in Corinth. Catching up with today’s episode, Timothy travels back to Thessalonica to check in with the church there, Silas stays in Athens to follow up with the newly forming group of believers there, and Paul moves on to Corinth to introduce the good news about Jesus being raised from the dead and reconciling humanity to God. What happens when he arrives? Tune in to find out, and with that… let’s get started.
