Hope When It’s Hard | Matthew 21:1–11

About this episode

The episode discusses how to find hope in difficult situations through the lens of Jesus' experiences and Paul's teachings on strength in weakness.

What do you do when you have to face a hard situation? Jesus knows what that’s like... --- 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/49583864 Submit a Question: bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions
