Come, Weak and Weary

Paul wasn't afraid to say the quiet part out loud: "we despaired even of life." Scotty Smith sits with that verse tonight, tracing how a man who wrote some of the richest theology in the New Testament also knew what it was to want to disappear. Along the way he tells on himself, admitting the season his own marriage nearly came apart before he'd let anyone see how tired he really was. The message ends less with a call to action and more with an open floor, friends praying for friends, because grace, as he puts it, runs downhill.
