Resolve to Know Only Christ - 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Pastor Don Patterson's farewell sermon after 34 years of ministry points to the unchanging hope found in Jesus Christ. While seasons of service come and go, the gospel remains the church's lasting foundation and greatest treasure.
Pastor Patterson’s Farewell Service at Holy Word in Austin, TX
“And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.”
