Jesus is Greater than my Weakness

JESUS IS GREATER

Than my Weakness
Pastor Aaron Sutherland  

SERIES SCRIPTURE:

John 16:33 "I’ve said these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have distress. But be encouraged! I have conquered the world.”

I.  OUR WEAKNESS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK JESUS
2 Kings 4:1 "The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, 'Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.'"

II.  OUR WEAKNESS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE JESUS
2 Kings 4:2 "Elisha replied to her, 'How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?' 'Your servant has nothing there at all,' she said, 'except a small jar of olive oil.'"
 

III. OUR WEAKNESS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEIZE JESUS
2 Kings 4:3-7  "Elisha said, 'Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.' She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, 'Bring me another one.' But he replied, 'There is not a jar left.' Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God, and he said, 'Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.'"
