Proper Boasting
Thankful Praise for God’s Reputation
“Proper Boasting” – 2 Corinthians 11-12
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus be praised forever
Paul’s parody: 2 Cor. 11:16-21
Three Proper Testimonies:
- Proper Perspective – testify to His protection (11:22-33)
I will boast of the things that show my weakness
Trust His protection & testify to God’s presence in weakness
- Proper Petitions – testify to His grace (12:7-8)
Three times I pleaded with the Lord
Trust His purposes & testify to God’s grace in trials
- Proper Praise – testify to His power (12:9-10)
So that Christ’s power may rest on me
Trust His power & testify to God’s provision of rest
