Summary

The sermon delivered by Pastor Lionel Peters at What Shall We Do Ministries focused on the theme of 'Power Hidden in Weakness.' Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, Pastor Peters emphasized the importance of recognizing our weaknesses as opportunities for God's power to manifest in our lives. He highlighted the dangers of pride and the necessity of humility, using the Apostle Paul's experience as an example. Paul, despite his significant accomplishments, was given a 'thorn in the flesh' to prevent him from becoming conceited, teaching us that God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in our weaknesses. The sermon encouraged believers to embrace their vulnerabilities and rely on God's grace, understanding that true strength is found in acknowledging our limitations and depending on God.

May Your Spirit guide our discussion and open our hearts to Your truth. In Jesus' name, Amen.
