Glitch or Feature? Finding Strength in Weakness
Pastor J.D. Greear delivers a compelling exposition of [2 Corinthians 12](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12&version=KJV), reframing human weakness not as a spiritual failure but as a divine feature designed to foster reliance on God's sufficient grace. Using relatable illustrations like the 'glitch' in a video game and the parable of the bird in the manure, he effectively dismantles the pride of self-sufficiency. The sermon is theologically sound, pastorally warm, and homiletically engaging, successfully guiding the congregation to find contentment and power in their vulnerabilities.
