Sermon - God's Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness.
The speaker is a heartfelt worship message centered on the theme “God’s power is made perfect in weakness,” inspired by Isaiah 42:16. The speaker shares inspiring stories of individuals who overcame physical disabilities through perseverance, support, and faith, illustrating a spiritual truth: human weakness is not a limitation but an opportunity for divine strength to manifest. The message begins with the story of Norman Moran, a pianist who lost the use of his right hand and leg due to abuse but learned to play piano beautifully with his left hand, supported by his mother’s encouragement. Similarly, Helen Keller’s story is recounted, highlighting how, despite being both blind and deaf, she learned to communicate and express love through the help of her mother and teacher. These narratives emphasize focusing on remaining abilities rather than lost ones and the importance of having someone who supports and guides. The speaker draws parallels between physical blindness and spiritual blindness, indicating that while people may appear physically whole, spiritually many are “half persons,” unable to fully perceive or walk in truth without God’s guidance. The Bible verse Isaiah 42:16 is used to reassure that God leads the blind along unfamiliar paths, turning darkness into light. The sermon further explores the biblical principle that God’s grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in human weakness, referencing the Apostle Paul’s experience and the story of Gideon, who triumphed against overwhelming odds because of faith in God. The speaker shares a personal testimony about receiving grace despite feeling unworthy, reinforcing that God’s love is unconditional for those who sincerely repent. Using the metaphor of a persimmon fruit, which becomes sweet only after drying removes its bitterness, the speaker illustrates how the innate purity in each person may be obscured by sin or hardship but can be revealed and expanded when nurtured. The message culminates in an encouragement not to lament flaws or past failures but to embrace and develop the “remaining half” of potential within, trusting in God’s sustaining grace. The sermon ends with a prayer for healing, guidance, and strength for those struggling physically, mentally, and spiritually, asking for God’s presence and grace to continue empowering believers to testify and glorify Him.
