This week’s message was entitled “Parenting in Weakness”. Dave Harvey taught us from 2 Corinthians 11:30-12:10. We heard how, for the Christian, power flows through weakness. In application, we were pointed to the reality of this truth in our parenting. In order to better understand how God’s power is made perfect in our weakness, consider these questions:
- Why is trusting God over methodologies so important? How has this played out in your life?
- In grace, God is inclined to come to us in our weakness. Are you typically aware of this gospel truth when you feel weak, or even desperate? What is the effect of remembering, or not remembering, this truth?
- Who knows where you are weak? How can you grow in pursuing relationships in which your weaknesses are known?
- Instead of hiding your weakness, how can you boast in your weakness? How does this magnify God’s grace?
- How has God used “thorns” in your life to reveal his strength? How can you share this story with others in order to display the grace of the gospel?
Let’s pray for one another this week, making our weakness known and then placing our trust in God’s strength.
