Passage: 2 Corinthians 2 Cor. 4:7
Summary
Christianity is not the story of strong people climbing their way to God. It is the story of weak people discovering that the grace of Jesus is more than enough. The treasure has never depended on the strength of the jar; it has always depended on the greatness of the One who placed it there.
Sermon Questions
- What “cracks” or weaknesses have you been trying to hide, and how might God use them to make the power of Christ more visible?
- Why do we often believe God can use us only after we become stronger, more polished, or more successful?
- In what area of your life do you currently feel “afflicted,” “perplexed,” or “struck down,” and what would it look like to trust that you are not crushed, forsaken, or destroyed?
- How has God used a season of suffering, failure, or disappointment to deepen your faith and reveal His sustaining grace?
- If people examined the way you are living through your present struggles, would they see more of your strength—or more of Jesus?
