What kept Paul going when everything was stacked against him? In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 4, we examine the “spirit of faith” that drove the apostle — a conviction so deep it compelled him to speak and act no matter the cost. We watch Paul renounce sin, resist Satan, and preach Christ rather than himself, all while being hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down — but never crushed, never in despair, never forsaken, and never destroyed. We see how Paul’s suffering brought life to others, and how the treasure of the gospel was delivered through fragile earthen vessels so that the power would clearly belong to God. This lesson challenges us to ask: do we have the same spirit of faith, or have we traded commitment for convenience?
