Sermons on Weakness
17 Bearing Burdens in the Church – Galatians 6:1-5
AM 12 April 2026 17 Bearing Burdens in the Church Galatians 6’1-5 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast…

Psalm 25 Life Your Soul to the Lord
PM Service, 24 August 2025 When was the last time you truly lifted up your soul to the Lord? Not merely whispered a quick prayer before a meal, nor offered polite words in a moment of crisis, but actually laid bare your heart — fears, regrets, sins, hopes — and entrusted it entirely to the faithful covenant God? Psalm 25 invites us into such an act of worship and trust. It is one of King David’s deeply personal prayers, yet…
Psalm 22:1-21a The Cry from the Cross
PM Service 27 July 2025 “Where do you turn when life falls apart? Do you cry out into the void, or to a God who hears — even when He seems silent?” Psalm 22 begins with a cry that has echoed down through the centuries, reaching from David’s distress all the way to the cross of Christ: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (v. 1) These words were first spoken by David in a season of deep…
09 Living by Faith in the Hope of Glory – 2 Cor 4:16-5:10
AM Sermon 20 July 2025 We live in a world that is constantly reminding us of our weakness. Bodies wear down. Minds grow tired. Circumstances change. Relationships strain. And death looms on the horizon. The temptation to lose heart is very real. Paul knew this. His ministry was marked by suffering—beatings, imprisonments, hunger, slander, and even the daily pressure of concern for the churches. And yet, in the face of all this, he writes: “So we do not lose heart”…
08 Treasures in Jars of Clay – 2 Corinthians 4:7-15
AM Sermon, 13 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, do you ever feel fragile, like you’re barely holding together? You strive to serve, parent, or persevere, but wonder if your weak, ordinary life can matter eternally. You’re not alone. The apostle Paul felt this too, yet he knew God’s secret: He uses frail vessels to carry His glory. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul reveals his own struggles—harassed, perplexed, attacked. Yet through his weakness, Christ’s power shone. Just before, in verse 6,…
Psalm 18:31-50 The Lord My Victory
PM Sermon, 22 June 2025 There are times in life when we look back and wonder how we made it through. Seasons of hardship, conflict, sorrow, or temptation—when the weight seemed too heavy to carry, and the path too steep to climb. And yet here we are. Not because we were strong enough, but because the Lord was faithful. Psalm 18 is David’s song of deliverance—a testimony not to his greatness, but to God’s. He had been pursued, pressed, and…
06 Beholding the Glory of Christ 2 Corinthians 3:7–18
Sunday AM, 22 June 2025 Imagine a man trying to warm himself on a cold morning by staring at a painting of the sun. He studies the brushstrokes, analyzes the colors, and appreciates the artistry. But he never steps outside to feel the sun’s actual warmth. That is what it’s like to know about Christ without truly beholding His glory. But let me ask you this: How often are our eyes fixed there—on Him, beholding His glory? Is it not…
05 Our Sufficiency in Christ – 2 Corinthians 3:1-6
AM Worship Service, 15 June 2025 In our age of credentials, degrees, endorsements, and carefully curated social media profiles, people often measure their worth and credibility by external validation. We value the right references, impressive resumes, and certificates framed neatly on the wall. But imagine if someone asked you to prove that your Christian faith and ministry were legitimate—not through paper documents, but by the lives you’ve influenced. Could you confidently point to lives visibly transformed by the power of…
