10. God Won't Give Us More Than We Can Handle | Are You Sure That's What It Means?
from Divine Savior Church-Santa Rita Ranch Sermons · host Pastor Stephen Apt

It does try to mimic I Corinthians 10:13, but that passage is speaking about temptation--something we all experience--and it is actually comforting because it urges us not to have faith in ourselves when temptations come, but to have faith in God, because even though temptations may be great, God's mercy and faithfulness are greater.Support the show
