When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong
by Ministry Support on March 21st, 2022
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 If you have been with u... Read More

Waiting For God To Mold You

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. (Isaiah 64:4) A while back, a group from our church took a trip to Italy. While we were there, we had the privilege of seeing the famous statue of David.

Instead, Jesus gives Peter another chance, and Pete... Read More

A Father’s Presence

Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8) We can learn a lot about fatherhood from Abraham. What made Abraham great is not that his life was perfect, but that through it all, he stayed with God.
