Bethel Lutheran Church

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

Simply the Sermon for July 7, 2024: "Olympic Weakness; Sufficient Grace"

We may think of our weaknesses as just that...deficiencies, burdens, hinderances, embarrassments.  St. Paul certainly could have thought that with his "thorn in the flesh." But instead, he realized that God could, by God's grace, turn his weaknesses into strengths...for the sake of the Gospel.  Read II Corinthians 12:2-10 and then listen to Pastor Russ' sermon entitled, "Olympic Weakness; Sufficient Grace."
