Only the Weak are Strong

God allows his servants to suffer weakness in order to demonstrate his power through us while keeping us humble. Listen to discover the joyous freedom of learning to boast in our weaknesses!

Sermon Outline:
I. The Problem with Boasting
II. The Remedy for Boasting
III. The Redemption of Boasting

Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. Why do you suppose that some of the people through whom God does his greatest work in this world also suffer so greatly?

2. Why is it so important for Christians to become aware of our own weaknesses? How do we become aware of our weaknesses?

3. When we experience ‘thorny’ situations in life, should we pray for God to remove the thorn? If we pray and he doesn’t remove the thorn, how can we know that Jesus’ promise in verse 9 is true for us?

4. In verse 9, what is the connection between boasting in our weaknesses and the power of Christ resting upon us? What might it look like practically to boast in our weaknesses?

5. Put this verse in your own words: “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Spend some time in prayer asking that God will help you understand and embrace this upside-down principle of his kingdom.
