“Hard Pressed”
Does it sometimes feel like life is more than you can handle? There is so much going on in our world and in our lives that it can become overwhelming. You may wonder if you are even capable of holding up to the physical, emotional and mental pressure that comes at you each day. So let me encourage you with this simple truth, “You are not capable.” You read that right. Life really is more than you can handle and you’re not able to conquer it… on your own. Our humanity is fragile and insufficient, but God has placed His indomitable Spirit within all of those who have accepted Jesus Christ. Through Christ we endure, become the people He created us to be and be a part of bringing light to the world! However, even as we do all those things, we are reminded of the limitations of our humanity and the greatness of God in us. This Sunday, we’ll continue our series on spiritual transformation by looking at 2 Corinthians 4:5-18 and learning what it means to be “Hard Pressed” but not crushed.
