Strength & Weakness
We are in the middle of a series at church called, Tightrope – Living in the Tension. This weekend’s message focused on the tension between strength and weakness.
Pastor Kerry used 2 Corinthians 12:7 – 10 where Paul describes one of his own weaknesses or “thorn in his flesh”.
Thought I would share a few of my notes from the message…….
- Your greatest weakness might just be your greatest gift.
- If you want to impress people, impress them with your strengths. If you want to influence people, influence them by admitting your weaknesses.
- A weakness is a gift because it……
- builds my character
- removes my complacency
- increases my compassion
- gives God credit
- God’s power works best in weak people.
- It is not about your weakness, it is about God’s greatness.
- Sometimes it takes God being all you have for you to realize he is all you need.
- Instead of focusing on how ordinary you are, focus on how extraordinary He is.
- Focus not on the giant of your problem, but on the greatness of your God.
- Your weakness doesn’t determine your worth.

Hi Aaron
Happy New Year to you! I trust you are having an enjoyable day. My name is Todd Stepp and I work for BooksChristian.com, here in Franklin, TN. We are a Christian owned & operated company that sells over 200,000 Christian products.
I have visited livingthedash.tv and have noticed that you post book reviews on your blog. I wanted to see if you would be interested in partnering with us, enabling visitors to your blog to purchase books that you review, as well as other books that you may suggest to them (books of the day etc.). In return we would pay you 9% on every sale made. There is very little work that would need to be done on your end, as we provide all the tools to create links and codes that you can post on your blog.
I would love to discuss this further with you at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
Todd Stepp
