This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15.

We're going to read um it's so powerful i'm going to use a different version here i'm going to read other new King James.

I do that often on Sunday mornings, but I've been going back and forth.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. Let's begin in verse 9.

For I am the least of the apostles.

That's refreshing, in it?

Who am not worthy to be called an apostle?

Maybe that's part of qualifying to be one.

Yeah.

If someone introduces themselves as Apostle Charlie,

rather than just Charlie, it's probably because they're not.

I hate that.

I am who am not worthy to be called an apostle because I persecuted the Church of God or the

bride of Christ.

But by the grace of God, in other words, the divine empowerment of the Spirit, I am what I am.

So he's a little confused regarding himself here. He's basically saying, I would not have chosen me,

but he did, and he empowered me, and I am who I am because of him. It's a wonderful arrival.

And his grace toward me was not in vain.

In other words, the power of the Spirit hasn't been wasted.

You can waste the anointing.
