    We base so much of our lives on our feelings about God, and wonder if God cares, does He have a heart for me. This message begins to look at that issue in our lives.

    BELIEVING and not BELIEVING The Heart of God May 21, 2017 We're in the final part of a four-part series I called Believing and not Believing.

    Message deals with the struggles Christians experience with their own failures and the condemnation the Accuser often brings. This sermon helps believers be realistic about their journey of faith and the power of God's grace in their lives.

    THIS THORN HAS A PURPOSE. The real revelation of suffering. God has a plan and a purpose. Suffering can reveal the heart OF MAN, not just the heart of God. Suffering can be a door to Presence of God. Suffering can be fertilizer for love.

    Paul’s life example ought to give us incredible encouragement to God’s power. We must submit under the GRACE of Christ before we can ever really live and must see ourselves for who we are before we can experience freedom.

    Experiencing Grace 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 Introduction - This morning, I’d like to discuss a word that is used often in church - It is a word that has several meanings to several, but the same beginnings - Jesus suffered and died to bring this entire creation the GRACE of God - For the ...read more

    Paul dealt with a thorn in the flesh, a continual, unceasing burden. Although he had prayed specifically three times for the Lord to remove it, the thorn remained. God allowed his thorn in the flesh for a purpose.

    Strength through Weakness 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10 Our text today comes from the second letter Paul had written to the Corinthian church. The church at Corinth struggled with purity and spiritual consistency. While they had embraced the Gospel, many continued to walk according to the flesh, and the ...read more

    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

     | 19,764 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more
