Sermons 2017 – New Life Fellowship

2 Corinthians 12:9 NASB And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

As we head into the new year and set our goals and make our plans, we must remember that no matter what happens or has happened in our lives, no matter how we succeed or how many times we fail, remember to keep Christ the center of all things. His grace is sufficient for us. Christ is enough for us.
