Only the Weak Survive!

2025 THEME: Burning Hearts

Title: Only the Weak Survive!

Scripture: 2 Cor. 10-Col. 4

I. WEAKNESS IS PART OF GOD’S PLAN (2 Cor.10-13)

“Weakness does not hinder God’s plan. It is an essential part of it.” PDT

Sayings to think about and apply:

• • • • • • “Feeling your emotions won’t kill you but ignoring them might.”
          • “Hurting people hurt people, but healing people heal people.”
          • “Asking for help is a sign of wisdom not weakness.”

II. WEAKNESS MEANS LIVING BY FAITH (Gal. 1-Eph.6)

Galatians and Ephesians have a core similarity: (FAITH)

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. The crux of the matter: Gal. 3:11-14
               2. Christianity is not based on (earning God’s favor).

One passage that would be the “Ephesian story”: Eph. 2:8-9

III. WEAKNESS MEANS BEING LIKE JESUS (Phil. 2:5-11)

One quality of Jesus stands out: (Humility)

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. What the word “attitude” mean? (Imitate Jesus).
               2. Exhibit humility by not (giving up).
               3. Jesus is exhibiting an attitude of (selflessness).
               4. This is not the end: verses 9-11
