Learning To Walk With a Limp

View all sermons by Adam Ritchard

Genesis 32:22-21; Luke 10:38-42; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Zechariah 4:6 — After Jacob wrestled with God he was left with a limp; a weakening of his self-reliance and pride. Like Jacob, we as God’s children are called to surrender - to depend on His grace, not on our own ability to perform. In our need His power is made perfect, and in our weakness He is strong.

As we abide in and behold Him, may we put off self-effort and abound in hope at the transformation that only He will bring.

Romans 15:1-7; 1 Cor 10:24; Phil 2:3-8; Hebrews 10:24-25 — Having instructed the Roman Church to ‘put off’ division and seek unity under Christ, Paul now exhorts his readers to ‘put on’ Christ’s example: We are to bear with each others’ weaknesses and build each other up, in order that our lives would be suitable dwelling places for the Lord of all.
