Empowered by Knowing God Sees All
Because God perceives all that we do and all that happens to us, we ought to live with a deep confidence in his approval when we do right, and be driven to a speedy repentance when we do wrong.
True Strength
What does real strength look like when your body won’t cooperate, your supporters have gone silent, and your critics won’t quit? In 2 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul shows us a kind of strength the world simply cannot manufacture — one that draws its power from God precisely when human resources run dry. In this five-part series as Pastor Mike walks us through one of Scripture’s most compelling pictures of what it truly means to be strong.
The Vanity of Self-Preservation
True strength isn’t found in preserving yourself from sacrifice, but in gladly spending yourself for others’ spiritual good alongside companions who share that same selfless commitment.
Persisting When You Feel Unsupported
We ought to endure in doing what is right regardless of the support, applause, or appreciation we receive, knowing Christ sees, cares, and rewards.
When God Refuses to Remove Your Weakness
We need to realize that our usefulness in the cause of Christ is not measured by good health, but rather by our dependence on God to work in and through us for his own glory.
The Power & Weakness of Your Experiences
We ought to share our experiences selectively, defaulting to those that glorify God, rejecting private experiences as spiritual credentials, and letting our sacrificial service be the true measure of our impact.
