“Sufficient” - 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 - Jan 25th, 2026 - Joe Step

From 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, guest speaker Joe Step walks through Paul's testimony of weakness, suffering, and God's sustaining grace. As Paul recounts profound revelations from the Lord and the thorn in the flesh given to keep him humble, we are reminded that God's purposes are often worked out through pain rather than escape from it. This message contrasts self-exalting false teachers with a Christ-centered life marked by dependence, humility, and trust in God's sovereignty. The central truth is clear: God's grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness. Believers are encouraged to trust God in affliction, rest in His presence, and allow their trials to become a means of comfort and ministry to others.
