Grace That Is Sufficient
We conclude our series “Strength in our Weakness,” by considering suffering, when we most feel our weakness. How do we endure heartaches, losses, and suffering? Paul experienced what he called a “thorn in the flesh.” And though he prayed repeatedly for it to be taken away, the Lord instead called Paul to find strength in God’s grace in the middle of the weakness. The Lord calls us as well to embrace a grace that is sufficient in all our needs.
From Series: "Strength in our Weakness (2 Corinthians)"
COVID has been exhausting on many levels. Even as it appears that in some ways that we are coming out of the pandemic, in many ways the disruption is far from over. So many changes, upheavals, and canceled plans have left many exhausted, discouraged, and stressed – sometimes beyond what we even realize. We need strength. We need encouragement. God provides this in abundance through His grace. This summer, we will be focus on encouraging words from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians in our worship series “Strength in our Weakness.”
