Rooted: Week 4
In this powerful sermon, we dive into 2 Corinthians 11 and 12 to explore the profound message: "God, Take My Pain & Suffering Away!" We learn that following Jesus doesn't always mean escaping suffering, but rather, God uses these trials to reveal our spiritual condition. Through Paul's own experiences of hardship and pleading with the Lord to remove his "thorn in the flesh," we understand that sometimes God's answer is no, but His "No" is always attached with a promise. We discover that God's power shines brightest when we are at our lowest, and that by embracing our weaknesses, we allow the power of Christ to rest upon us. So, when faced with pain and suffering, remember to ask God for relief, surrender to His will, and trust in His power, for it is in our weaknesses that we find true strength and draw closer to Him.
