Podcasts about sufficient grace

Everyone has weaknesses—but not everyone knows what to do with them.In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes a subtle trap the enemy uses to keep believers restless: refusing to confront our weaknesses. Whether your struggle is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, unresolved weakness can breed discontentment and quietly drain your joy—unless you apply God's grace to the very places that hurt.Dr. Youssef takes you to Paul's “thorn in the flesh” and the breakthrough lesson God taught him:“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).You'll discover why the most important part of any trial isn't the struggle itself—but how you respond to it. If you've ever felt like God's grace “isn't enough,” this episode helps you diagnose what's really happening: either you're fixated on the problem instead of His grace, or you're avoiding the issue entirely. The way forward is not denial or despair—it's honest dependence on Christ.You'll also be reminded that Jesus is not distant from your struggle. He understands your weakness with compassion—and He invites you to come to Him for strength and mercy (Hebrews 4:15).Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 12:9 The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Has “grace” lost its wonder?In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges the modern misconceptions that have watered grace down into mere politeness—or made it unnecessary in an age of self-sufficiency and “rights.” The Truth is far more stunning: we are sinners who could never earn our way back to God. Only Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and His righteousness credited to us can justify us before the Father (see John 3:16).Dr. Youssef then brings this Gospel reality into your everyday battles. When trials hit, anxiety rises, or temptation threatens your fellowship with God, grace becomes more than a doctrine—it becomes your lifeline. Through prayer, God steadies you with peace and security, goes before you into life's battles, and provides victory that doesn't come from your strength, but from His.If you're facing pressure, fear, or exhaustion, this devotional will lift your eyes to the promise you can cling to today: God's grace is sufficient—and His power is revealed in your weakness.Scripture Focus: Psalm 20:7 The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

The sermon centers on the sufficiency of God's grace, emphasizing that His grace is not merely about receiving what we desire, but about receiving what we truly need, as demonstrated in Paul's experience with his 'thorn in the flesh' and God's declaration that 'My grace is sufficient for thee.' Drawing from 1 Peter 5:10 and other Scripture, it unfolds the divine sufficiency of God—whose grace is ample, timely, and perfectly suited to every trial—contrasting human insufficiency in self, others, and worldly resources with God's infinite power, wisdom, and presence. The message affirms that God's grace is uniquely capable of perfecting, establishing, strengthening, and settling believers, grounding their lives in Christ alone, the only unshakable foundation. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to trust in God's all-sufficient grace, surrendering to His will and embracing His provision in every season of life.

In this message, Elder Jonathan Thomas reminded that trials are a part of our life and walk with the Lord. They are real and come in many shapes and forms, but they are also temporary. When going through trials, we must remember that they are necessary in shaping our faith, deepening our relationship with God. Going through trials reminds us that we have a living hope and that we have community, which means that we don't have to go through trials ourselves. We should also remember that God has given each of us grace to support members of our community going through trials. Reach out to your community and share your grace that is compatible with their trials during this period.

Born Mary Flannery O’Connor, she’s best known as Flannery O’Connor, one of the American South’s most celebrated writers. Her stories brim with suffering and grace. When her beloved father died of lupus when she was fifteen, a devastated O’Connor threw herself into writing her first novel. Soon she herself was diagnosed with lupus, an incurable disease that took her life at thirty-nine. O’Connor’s writing reflects her physical and mental anguish. Novelist Alice McDermott said, “It was the illness I think that made her the writer that she is.” We don’t know what the apostle Paul’s “thorn” was (2 Corinthians 12:7), though many have offered conjecture. We do know that Paul said, “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me” (v. 8). We also know God didn’t do so (v. 9). This humbled Paul. He notes how it kept him “from becoming conceited” (v. 7). Paul’s thorn formed him and made him the apostle that he was. But the thorn wasn’t all, for with the thorn came God’s sufficient grace and perfecting power, so the tormented apostle could declare, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (v. 10). The thorns in our lives, whatever they may be, form us. They make us who we are. But the thorns aren’t all there is. As Paul and Flannery O’Connor and countless others have witnessed over the long arc of human history: God’s grace is sufficient for us.

Teach us to be content in all circumstances, knowing that your Love is unchanging and trustworthy.

In this episode of Pray the Word on 2 Corinthians 12:8–9, David Platt reminds us that God has promised grace for our every weakness.Explore more content from Radical.

This sermon presents grace not as a singular gift of salvation but as a multifaceted reality that shapes every aspect of the Christian life. Centered on Titus 2 and other key passages, it emphasizes that grace is unmerited favor that initiates salvation, sustains believers through trials, and strengthens them in weakness, as seen in Paul's thorn in the flesh. The preacher warns against redefining grace as license to live without moral accountability, instead affirming that true grace empowers believers to live soberly, righteously, and godly, adorned by good works and faithful obedience. Through the lens of Scripture, the message calls the church to embrace grace as both a divine gift and a transformative power that shapes character, fuels perseverance, and deepens dependence on God, ultimately glorifying Christ in all areas of life.

On this episode our Hosts reunite to discuss grace. Not just any grace but sufficient Grace that only God can provide. Be sure to tune in on this episode and be reminded of the undeserved favor we receive from the Creator. 

Lord, give us the clarity to see a bigger purpose when your answer to prayer is "no." Our weakness allows God's supernatural power to be on display, and the Glory is His.

Welcome to the eighth episode of the fourth season of the Perseverance Podcast. This is where you will hear the story of Pablo Frascini, a man who was born into a very devout Catholic family from Argentina but moved to California at a young age. After his family had an encounter with Christ that caused them to turn from Catholicism to a relationship with Jesus, Pablo too accepted Jesus as his Savior at six years old. But about that same time, Pablo was sexually abused and carried the secret until he was 18. Unfortunately, this abuse landed him addicted to pornography at the tender age of 13. Hear how Pablo struggled with this addiction throughout his adulthood and even during his marriage. But even in his darkest hours, God was able to give Pablo grace sufficient for his needs. After hearing Pablo's story of daily dying to his sin nature, I hope you too can feel encouraged to persevere as you go through your own difficult experiences.If you would like to be a guest on this podcast, email me at info@perseverancepodcast.comFor more information, go to www.deafblindpotter.comTo donate to the See Me Cane, go to www.seemecane.com or for tax deductible donation purposes go to www.lblf.orgTo support the DeafBlind Potter School for people with disabilities, go to www.school.deafblindpotter.comPablo's Social Media Accounts and Contacthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-serpents-doves-podcast/id1518235417https://serpentsndoves.substack.com/podcasthttps://substack.com/@pablofrasciniMy Social Media AccountsFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/deafblindpotter?view_public_for=103433621651670InstagramDeafBlind Potter- https://www.instagram.com/deafblindpotter/See Me Cane- https://www.instagram.com/seemecaneproject/ TikTokDeafBlind Potter- https://www.tiktok.com/@deafblindpotterSee Me Cane- https://www.tiktok.com/@seemecaneprojectYouTubeDeafBlind Potter- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoESy9-tS5BEL9AqJ6dOu9ASee Me Cane- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VJLOJCwsAqO0YW6U04dOgDeafBlind Potter School and Documentaryhttps://www.school.deafblindpotter.comhttps://www.nowness.com/series/craft-work/deafblind-potter-kelvin-crosby

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn't matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God's throne instead. “You who wore my thorns that I may know Your grace…pierced by my sin that I may see Your face…loved and forgiven from shame and deep disgrace. You wore my thorns. You wore my thorns.” (from Jill's poem “You Wore My Thorns” copyright 2003) To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29

If God is good and all powerful, why does he allow suffering in our lives? Meet a man who has asked that question and many others.

Today on a Daily Walk we take you to Second Corinthians twelve, where Paul the apostle describes a thorn in the flesh that he prayed three times for the Lord to take away. God didn't deliver Paul out of the trial, but sustained him in the midst of it. And He can do the same for you. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Most of us find it extremely annoying when someone brags of their accomplishments, like we see constantly in the world of professional sports.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 6th of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 2 Corinthians 12:9:”…but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.” When I am weak, then I am strong.I want to ask you today, at the moment, are you going through a really rough time? Then, this beautiful scripture verse will strengthen you. You see, Paul had a thorn in his flesh and he asked the Lord three times to remove it. The Lord did not remove it. He said, “My grace, My undeserved loving kindness, is enough for you.” You say, “But I can't take it anymore.” Oh, but you can and you must. You see, by His grace, He will see you through but you must let Jesus help you. Verse 10 says, ”For when I am weak, then I am strong.”You see, the stiff upper-lip, “cowboys don't cry”, “do it my way”, doesn't work. I have tried it many times. I remember as a young farmer planting my crop of maize, the planting time is crucial. My tractors broke down, I didn't know what to do and then I heard the noise of tractors coming over the hill. My neighbours had seen what had happened. They saw that I was at the end of my tether, I couldn't anymore. They sent their tractors over and completed the planting of the crop for me. It was very humbling, but I was so grateful. Humble yourself, ask the Lord to help you and then carry on and God will send help to you. He always has for me and it is always at the 11th hour. As you can hear by my voice, at the moment I have got a bit of a frog in my throat, but by His grace, the next time you hear me I will be clear as a bell.Jesus bless you as you continue to look to Jesus, and Him alone, for your help.Goodbye.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
