The Abundant Life is the Dependent Life
Isaiah 50
Teacher: Caleb Middleton, High School Pastor / Student Director at Oak Pointe Church
Paul Alexander, known as “Polio Paul” passed away March 11, 2024 after spending over 70 years in an iron lung. He was diagnosed with polio at age 6 during the height of the epidemic in 1952; he became paralyzed from the waist down, rendering him completely dependent on a machine to provide his oxygen. If Paul had looked at the iron lung and declared, “I don’t need you anymore,” and walked away, it would’ve been a foolish and fatal decision.
As created beings, we are entirely dependent on our Creator for our very life and breathe, and yet how many times have we said to God, “I don’t need you anymore.” Join us on Sunday to hear about our dependence on God and the blessing it brings.
