20 Boasting in Weakness The Marks of Christ’s True Servant 2 Corinthians 11’16–33
October 05, 2025
John Owen Butler
Discover the true marks of Christ’s servant in this sermon on 2 Corinthians 11:16–33, “Boasting in Weakness.” The Apostle Paul turns worldly values upside down, showing that true ministry is proven not by triumphs or power but by suffering, humility, and faithfulness. Learn how God’s strength is revealed in weakness, how the cross defines Christian leadership, and how believers today are called to boast only in Christ, the crucified and risen Lord.
