Experience God’s Strength In Weakness
Weakness is not a disqualifier or a flaw in our design. In fact, God shows Himself most powerfully in and through our fragility and vulnerability. We’re called, then, not to work harder or to hide our weaknesses, but to call upon God’s infinite resources and rely on Him.
Come be a part of this study. Cost is $25 to purchase your book.
