5. Hymn 367 Day by Day and With Each Passing Moment

6. In Christ Alone In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

7. What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

8. In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

9. 'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

10. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again

11. And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

12. No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the pow'r of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

13. No pow'r of hell no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand

For the love in Christ made known,
With these fruits of time and labor,
With these gifts that are your own:

Give us grace to love and serve you,
Living what we pray and sing.

17. Let It Be Said Of Us Let it be said of us
That the Lord was our passion
That with gladness we bore
Ev'ry cross we were given

18. That we fought the good fight
That we finished the course
Knowing within us
The pow'r of the risen Lord

19. Let the cross be our glory
And the Lord be our song
By mercy made holy
By the Spirit made strong

20. And the Lord be our song
'Til the likeness of Jesus
Be through us made known
Let the cross be our glory

21. Let it be said of us
We were marked by forgiveness
We were known by our love
And delighted in meekness
We were ruled by His peace
Heeding unity's call
Joined as one body
That Christ would be seen by all

22. Let the cross be our glory
And the Lord be our song
By mercy made holy
By the Spirit made strong

23. 'Til the likeness of Jesus Be through us made known
And the Lord be our song
'Til the likeness of Jesus
Be through us made known
Let the cross be our glory

26. Scripture Reading 2 Corinthians 11:21-31 Page 145 (New Testament)

27. Christ’s Supply Is Sufficient in Our Weakness 2 Corinthians 11:21-31; Psalm 46:1-11

28. No one likes being called weak.

29. The state of being weak; lack of strength
An inadequate or defective quality
A self-indulgent liking (weakness for a new car)
An object of desire (weakness for candy)

30. Marks for Growth The Challenges Imprisonment Five times with 39 lashes
Beaten with rods
Stoned
Three times shipwrecked
Burden of the churches

31. Mark for Growth
Boast in his weakness, why?
Paul is identifying that he too has the same weaknesses as they do
God knows who we are and what we declare

32. Weakness Causes Dependence
Thorn in flesh (given)
Kept from exalting self
Sought God for relief (3x)
God declares
Grace sufficient
Power in weakness

33. Weakness Causes Dependence
Paul weakness is an opportunity to depend on God’s strength
Power of Christ dwells in Paul’s weakness
You can allow God to be your strength in areas you are weak

34. Weakness Causes Dependence
Dr. Thomas H. Holmes from U. of Washington study on stress rating. This study concluded that an accumulation of 200 or more “life changing units” in any year mean more disruption than an individual can stand. On their scale, death of a spouse equals 100 units, divorce equals 73 units, and Christmas equals 12 units

35. Weakness Causes Dependence
From a human viewpoint, they felt no person in their own strength could handle stresses totaling two hundred or more life changing units in one year
Paul gathers his strength from Christ

36. God Supplies God our refuge and strength
No need for fear; even if the earth changes
Natural events in our life should draw us to dependence on God
When dealing with the battles in life

37. God Supplies God does not move God is our strength
Notice the Lord’s work
Stop striving against God
God is our stronghold

38. Let’s Consider
Weakness is not a failure but an opportunity for God to work
In our weakness we can find strength in God
Depend on God and not on yourself

39. Let’s Consider
The stresses of life can overwhelm us if we try and get through them alone
God can be your refuge and strength
God’s supply is like a limitless river
Stop striving against God and rest in Him
God is our stronghold
