Revival in San Antonio w/ Zach Meerkreebs

About this sermon

Boast in Weakness | Asbury Revival & God’s Presence | 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 (Zach Meerkreebs) What if the biggest barrier to revival is not a lack of passion, but an excess of self? In this powerful message, Zach Meerkreebs opens with raw honesty about motives, ego, and the temptation to perform, then points us to the truth of 2 Corinthians 12:9–10. God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness. Zach shares firsthand perspective connected to the Asbury Revival and what he witnessed during the Asbury outpouring. The emphasis is sobering. The manifest presence of God is not produced by singing louder, trying harder, or looking more spiritual. God is omnipresent, but there are moments when He is manifestly present, when Jesus enthrones Himself in a room. Those moments are often marked by humility, desperation, confession, and a willingness to be emptied of self. Walking through Paul’s story, Zach contrasts Athens and Ephesus. In Athens, Paul leans on brilliance and persuasion, and little changes. In Ephesus, Paul relies on the Holy Spirit, and a city is transformed. The message is clear. When we boast in weakness, we remove glory confusion and make room for Christ’s power to rest on us. This sermon also clarifies the difference between weakness and sin. Weakness is human frailty and limitation. Sin is disobedience. God meets us with grace in both, but He does not shame us for being weak. He invites us to bring weakness into the light so His strength can fill the space. The call is simple and costly. Stop hiding. Stop performing. Stop saving a little strength “just in case.” Vacate the space. Confess fully. Boast in weakness. Then watch what God does. Takeaway: When Christianity becomes about appearing strong, weakness gets hidden. When it becomes about God, weakness becomes an offering. We are Community Bible Church located in San Antonio, Texas.
