Tim - 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

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. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NIV

I love Paul's humility as he understands it's not about him and how he appears to others. Jesus Christ alone is his message. The crucifixion of our Lord only. He points out that he came with fear and trembling because he knows that God has called him to do this,  however he has no idea how they will receive the truth of Jesus. He relied totally on the Spirit's power. Like the mission trip in Chicago - we were willing, we opened our mouth even though we were scared and God's power fell down and used us!!!!

What an honor!!! This kind of reliance allows people to be impressed with God not with us. We don't want to take God's glory but rather we want to point to him alone!!
