    What do we do when even with all our prayers and all our begging of God, heaven is silent?

    September 30, 2001 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 “When heaven is silent” INTRODUCTION We love stories about answered prayer. We get a thrill hearing accounts of God’s miraculous interventions in people’s lives, even as God intervened in Ryan Williams’ life. It motivates us to be more diligent about ...read more

    Surprising source of a strength for the Christian: his "thorn"

    1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows. 3And I know that this ...read more

     | 51,275 views

    Todos tenemos debilidades en nuestras vidas. Mas sin embargo, muchos especialmente en la iglesia, tratan de esconder sus debilidades como si Dios se avergonzara de ellas. Se ponen la mascara de la religión para hacer que los demás piensen que son fuertes

    Mi Debilidad, Mi Mayor Recurso 1 Corintios 1:23-28 “23 mientras que nosotros predicamos a Cristo crucificado. Este mensaje es motivo de tropiezo para los judíos, y es locura para los gentiles, 24 pero para los que Dios ha llamado, lo mismo judíos que gentiles, Cristo es el poder de Dios y la ...read more

    How sickness can be good

    Intro: We have been talking for the last few weeks about things that are common to all of us. Things that often look like failures in the eyes of the world, often can turn out to be successes in the eyes of God. This morning we want to look at one of these: Sickness. I’m sure sickness is ...read more

    God not only showers us with Saving Grace but also with Enabling Grace. No matter how difficult situations may become, His grace is sufficient to meet every need.

    GRACE SUFFICIENT—Numbers 33:50-56 and II Corinthians 12:1-10 I have always appreciated Robert Frost’s poem “The Death of the Hired Man” since first reading it as a junior in high school. Frost portrays three characters in his poem: Warren, a New England farmer; his wife Mary; and Silas their ...read more

    Paul rejoiced in his weaknesses and hardships and difficulties... was he crazy? No, he had learned the source of strength in his weakness.

    OPEN: Years ago, the story was told of a Sunday School teacher who – on the Sunday before Thanksgiving - was encouraging the children in her class to share things they were grateful for. A little boy was asked what he was thankful for, and he thought for a moment. Then the boy went through a ...read more

    Often the world considers trouble to be a terrible intruder into life. For many people the problems of life are viewed as nothing more than minus factors. But the Christian perspective of trouble is not pessimistic. Paul experienced a thorn in the flesh,

    Title: Strength Out of Weakness Text: "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Cor. 12:9). Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians ...read more

    Where do you have the hardest time standing up for Jesus? In your weakest point, God offers grace and the strength of his power.

    2 Corinthians 12 As we are nearing the end of this letter to the Corinthians we see another golden principle of the Christian faith. Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient.” And, “My power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul was granted something rare. He saw and heard heavenly, inexpressible ...read more

    In the previous chapter Paul’s focus of attention has been on earthly, physical experiences in the gospel. In order to avoid exalting himself he describes these experiences in the third person.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: To seek to earn, merit, or purchase salvation is to insult the Giver. Imagine yourself invited to a banquet in the White House by the president of the United States. You are seated at a table that is filled with the choist foods. Every effort is made to give you a most ...read more

    The final sermon in the summer 2006 Series, “Being God’s People by Serving, Obeying, and Giving.”

    The summer before my senior year in high school I had one of those spiritual experiences that is hard to explain because it was only God and me in my bedroom one warm August evening. It is the kind of experience that made at least one of my parents, when all was said and done, scratch their head ...read more
