Strength in Grace and Witness from 2 Corinthians 12:10


2 Corinthians 12:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 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.


Pride is spiritual
It will eat you up even your common sense.
No one is immune of pride.

God will be glorified in you, even in your witnesses.

God grace is sufficient for you. We don't believe that God's grace is sufficient unless you live for Jesus.
God's grace doesn't base in our situation.

2 Corinthians: 12:9 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.

- I am well pleased.

In difficulties and hardship, when I an weak then "I am strong".

When we recognize our weaknesses God will be there for us.
Although the world sees our weaknesses that's the time we will become strong through God's grace. For his power become perfect in our weaknesses

No man can be a complete model. That is why we need to look up to God. Be careful with lust its just sexual immorality and not love. The world will tell you its okay to look at the naked woman/man as long as you only look and don't touch, that is wrong ways of the world. The world will say that its ok to have sex before marriage as long as you love each other, marriage is just a contract with a piece of paper, = also wrong Remember God said wait and be pure before marriage.

"Pay Attention" from 2 Kings 21

We had a Communion taken from verse 1 Corinthians 11:17-33 17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, 21 for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk. 22 Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not! 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this i

"Grow In Christ" from Matthew 10:1-20

1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” 3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” 4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. 5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful[b] one see decay. 11 You make known to me the p
