Overflowing Joy in Our Weakness | Pr Juliana | Jul. 20, 2025

In this message, Pastor Juliana Fernandes shares from 2 Corinthians 7:2–4 about the surprising promise of joy in the middle of weakness and affliction. Through Paul’s words and personal illustrations, she invites us to step away from distraction, pride, and self-reliance—and to embrace the grace of God that sustains and empowers. Using both biblical and everyday examples, she shows that true strength comes not from effort but from surrender.

The sermon unpacks three powerful truths: trusting in the grace of God, living in the righteousness of Christ, and depending on God’s power in our weakness. With references to Paul’s conversion, Gideon’s battle, and even a child’s simple need for help, this message calls every believer to experience the overflowing joy that comes when we stop striving and start receiving.
