Approval From God | 2 Corinthians 10:1–19

About this episode

The episode discusses how true approval comes from God and explores the theme of God's power being made perfect in our weakness through the lens of 2 Corinthians 10.

Everyone is seeking approval. This weekend, one of the greatest weekends of the year, 64-teams are searching for the approval of their fan bases, the arena fans, and ultimately the watching world. They are seeking to have their One Shining Moment, and see their names etched in glory. While we love the tournament, and love doing things that God has given to us, our approval isn’t in what we are doing or from the applause of men. Our approval only happens from God. God approves us, by His Son, for His glory. In today’s message, we will examine 2 Corinthians 10, and see that God approved His people, by His Son, for His global glory. --- Have you ever felt powerless? I have, and it’s a horrible feeling. I’m used to being able typically to figure out the challenges that come my way. Sometimes, though, nothing seems to work. As we walk together through 2 Corinthians, we’re going to see what true power really looks like. We’re going to see in various ways that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness, and we’re going to see why Paul would say “when I am weak, then I am strong.” Sermon Notes: http://bible.com/events/49580380 Submit a Question: bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions
