Power in Weakness | Rev. Drew Nix
Prayer of Confession & Assurance of Pardon
Jesus is our Lord and our God. His grace is sufficient for us as his power is made perfect in the weakness of the cross and even in our weaknesses Therefore, whenever we are weak, by the grace of Jesus, then we are strong.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and made new.
Thanks be to God.
