God's Grace is Enough

A few weeks ago our pastor preached a sermon titled: God's Grace is Enough. It was such a blessing to me with things that we have come up against in the last few months and I wanted to get it on my blog for future reference! Sometimes I can feel beat up by circumstances but God has a purpose for those times to use for my good.

God's Grace is Enough

2 Corinthians 11:16-12:10

Introduction: Now, about that "thorn" in your flesh . . .

Suffering and difficulties are a very real part of every Christian experience. (11:16-33)

Paul's Reluctance to Boast (16-22)

Paul's Suffering in Service (23-27)

Paul's Concern for the Churches (28, 29)

Paul's Embarraasing Escape (30-33)

Suffering and difficulties are actually God's tools to bring about our deepening maturity. (12:1-10)

Paul's experience of heaven (1-4)

Paul's lessons learned about "thorns" (5-10)

Thorns protect me from pride vrs 7

Thorns prompt me to pray vrs.8

Thorns reveal the riches of God's grace for me.

Thorns teach me to rest in the power of God through me.
