Shine : Talking About Jesus - 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

We often make mistakes when proclaiming the Gospel. We either think we need to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, killing people with the law and speaking them to life with the Gospel. Or we get uncomfortable, shy, and we don't end up saying anything. In our world today, neither are probably helpful in proclaiming the truth about Jesus. Rather, we ought to be unafraid to speak the truth, clearly and comprehensibly that others may hear. At the same time, we don't have to shove it down people's throats. This comes down not to putting our trust in our testimony or our ability to reason and speak with others, but to God's power that is displayed in our weakness. We are to be a winsome, authentic, humble witness, who boasts in Jesus' power over our own.
