Why does it have to be so hard to be Christian? Very often we’re taught that being a Christian means that God will bless us with success. But that often contradicts our common experience: that the Christian life is hard. Very often we’re not sure how to keep going in our Christian faith, let alone in Christian ministry. In 2 Corinthians 4, we're taught a key truth: God deliberately keeps his servants weak, so that the glory may go to God. Knowing this will help us to persevere and not lose heart when things inevitably get hard.
This sermon was preached at Covenant Grace Church, Penang on 4th December 2022.
