Comfort & Affliction, Week 3 of 3 from March 2nd, 2025

"When we know Jesus deeply He shows clearly that our life is His."

2 Corinthians 2:12-3:18 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)

SUMMARY

This sermon explores the paradoxical nature of Christian faith, where believers are portrayed as captives in Christ's triumphal procession. Pastor Michael challenges the congregation to view their relationship with God not as victorious conquerors, but as those conquered by Christ's love. He emphasizes that true Christian life involves surrender, being led by Christ, and becoming a living testimony of God's work. The sermon also addresses the tension between personal faith and public witness, urging believers to let their lives tell Jesus' story to the world.
