Title:
Martin Niemöller - "Human Weakness and Divine Strength" (February 24, 1963)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 01:28. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 25:10.

  • Divorcing the person of Jesus from Jesus' teaching and principles is what has brought about this post-Christian individuated and self-reliant "faith," which is radically different from Paul's utter dependence on Christ and his confession that he "would rather glory in his infirmities for Christ's power is made perfect through weakness. " In the age of individualism and self-reliance, Niemoller calls for us to worship and follow the person of Christ. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
