Summary

In our world today, power, strength and greatness are definitely what our culture has decided are worth fighting for. Yet in God’s economy, we’re told that weakness is where we find our reward. Join me as we figure this one out.
Scriptures
2 Corinthians 12: 1-10
Ephesians 3:20-21
Mentioned in the Podcast
New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp
Mornings can be tough. Sometimes, a hearty breakfast and strong cup of coffee just aren’t enough. Offering more than a rush of caffeine, best-selling author Paul David Tripp wants to energize you with the most potent encouragement imaginable: the gospel.
Forget “behavior modification” or feel-good aphorisms. Tripp knows that what we really need is an encounter with the living God. Then we’ll be prepared to trust in God’s goodness, rely on his grace, and live for his glory each and every day.
