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

    God is everywhere, but we don’t always see him in our everyday lives.

    Do We See God in Little Situations? A good part of our failure as followers of Christ lies, it seems, in our inability to see our mighty Savior as One who is interested, and capable of helping, in the little situations of everyday life. Our thoughts of Him, in relation to our need, are on such 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.

    In this world, people believe that you need to focus on your strenghts to be a great leader. In God’s Kingdom it is the exact opposite. God see’s potential in weakness and is able to transform our weaknesses into our most powerful strenghts.

    INTRO: By the show of hands, who here, knows somebody that is perfect or thinks that their perfect themselves? Just raise your hand!
