Have you ever felt like you had nothing left? That is exactly where the apostle Paul found himself when he arrived in Corinth — alone, exhausted, and nearly broken after a brutal stretch of beatings, death threats, and disappointing results. Corinth was the most morally corrupt city in the ancient world. If anyone felt like quitting, it was Paul. In this message, we walk through four ways God encouraged a desperately discouraged Paul — and how God encourages us the same way today. Through unexpected friendships, surprising spiritual fruit, a personal word from God, and even the backfiring plans of his enemies, Paul discovered that God shows up in our darkest moments in ways we never see coming. If you are discouraged, this message is for you.
