His Grace is Enough
July 12, 2015
Sermon Notes —“His Grace is Enough” Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 KLC 2015
Theme: Seeking His Kingdom “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
Lesson Text: 1 I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. 5 On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— 6 though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:1–10 (ESV)
God may give you a vision or a revelation that’s strictly for your EDIFICATION. Use WISDOM if you plan to share it.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. Genesis 37:3–5 (ESV)
Suffering is a GIFT because of what it produces: spiritual GROWTH and God’s GLORY.
God will not allow you to suffer without a PURPOSE.
29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake Philippians 1:29 (ESV)
Grace makes up the difference between what you are and what you’re called to be.
By God’s grace you are EQUIPPED to face any challenge today brings.
You are the strongest when you are the least RELIANT on your strength.
Don’t OBSESS over your weaknesses and inadequacies. Trust God to turn your weaknesses into ASSETS.
14 And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” Judges 6:14 (ESV)
