2 Cor 12-13 – Teaching #7: Our Weakness, God’s Strength (pt3 of 3)

May 27, 2013 By ray

4) It’s because in God’s eyes, weakness is strength. 2 Cor 12 9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. 10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ.… Read more

2 Cor 12-13 – Teaching #7: Our Weakness, God’s Strength (pt2 of 3)

May 27, 2013 By ray

2) What makes us recognize our weakness? For Paul, what allowed him to recognize his weakness? One, he had to endure much hardship. And two, he had a thorn in his flesh. Please turn with me to 2 Cor 11:24-30.

2 Cor 12-13 – Teaching #7: Our Weakness, God’s Strength (pt1 of 3)

May 27, 2013 By ray

We are going to wrap up 2 Corinthians today. Paul planted this church at Corinth and the first challenge this young congregation faced was internal. This is review for those who have been with us a while back when we covered 1 Corinthians. After Paul left the church at Corinth to continue planting other churches, the Corinthian leaders who remained began to diminish the centrality of the gospel message and to pursue the supernatural, charismatic gifts like speaking in tongues and prophecy.… Read more

Quotes on The Wounded Healer (Henry Nouwen)

August 23, 2011 By ray

The wound of our loneliness is indeed deep. Maybe we had forgotten it, since there were so many distractions. But our failure to change the world with our good intentions and sincere actions and our undesired displacement to the edges of life have made us aware that the wound is still there.… Read more

A Spiritual Secret from Apostle Paul's Life

March 17, 2010 By ray

Continuing from last time, Paul was shipwrecked, he was imprisoned, he was beaten, but nothing seemed to faze him. How does Paul do it? I can’t do this. Even if I muster all my human willpower, I can’t come close to living like he did. Paul seems almost super human in the book of Acts, but if you read his other epistles, they reveal a more vulnerable side.… Read more
