00:00We have a verse today, but before we go through that verse, I want to illustrate something using just kind of stuff that we have here already, all right?
00:14Who here is the strongest out of you five?
00:18What? Already?
00:21You're already declaring you're the strongest?
00:22Okay, well, this is not planned, but since she is so brash and believes in herself so much, let's see, Kenzie.
00:32I want you to, here, can you grab this?
00:37Just lift it.
00:38Yeah, just lift it.
00:40Wow, world's strongest woman.
00:43World's strongest woman, okay?
00:45Since you're so strong, here, I'm going to have you lift this, okay?
00:50Wait, ah, you need to lift it.
00:54Somehow, someway.
00:55Go, lift it.
00:57Wow, wow.
01:00All right, now I want you to lift it.
01:04Go.
01:06Go, lift it.
01:09There you go, that's good.
01:10Now she lifts it, okay.
01:14I think you kind of get the point, although I'm going to put him on the spot again, but we did this.
01:19I'm now realizing we did not have the live stream here last week.
01:23That was in part because Pastor Dave, Sister Grace, Brother Junji, and Sister Anna were not sure if they'd make it back in time.
01:30Of course they did, and so for those seeing this again for the nth time, my apologies, but way on, can I put you on the spot again, my dear son?
01:39All right.
01:40Now, Kenzie, you think you're really strong with that?
01:44Now, try to pick up your kuya.
01:46Go, pick up kuya, if you're really that strong.
01:49Go, go.
01:52No, oh, oh, okay.
01:54You get the point here.
01:55Can I try to pick up kuya?
01:57Let me try.
01:59You need my help to pick him up.
02:02Ready?
02:03One, two, three.
02:05There you go.
02:08Give it up for kuya and for the answer.
02:11All right.
02:13A little bit of work out there.
02:15Now, in all seriousness, kuya, Johan, please go to our next slide, which is our Bible verse.
02:21Children and once children alike.
02:24Let's say it together.
02:25When I am weak, then I am strong.
02:292 Corinthians 12, 10.
02:32Once again.
02:33When I am weak, then I am strong.
02:372 Corinthians 12, 10.
02:40You know how that sounds?
02:41It sounds a little bit like, wait, how can I be strong, but I'm also weak at the same time?
02:48Almost doesn't make sense, right?
02:49It's almost like, well, if you're strong, then that means you shouldn't be strong.
02:52If you're weak, that means you shouldn't be weak.
02:54Well, the rest of this verse, or this passage says that my strength is made perfect in weakness.
03:02That was not the words of Paul.
03:04That was the words of Jesus to the Apostle Paul and to all of us.
03:09So, we are most strong.
03:12We are our strongest.
03:14We are our best selves when we find ourselves to be weak.
03:18That simply means that we're humble before God.
03:20That simply means that we understand that without God and without Jesus living in us by faith, we can do nothing.
03:27In the same way that Kenzie was able to somehow pick up the lighter things like this and that, but she was unable to pick up another human being.
03:37That is a way for us to understand that the heaviest burdens and the hardest things we go through in life, yes, we are weak.
03:45But once again, everybody, let's say together, when I am weak, then I am strong.
03:522 Corinthians 12.10.
03:54That's our simple lesson for today.
03:56And I thank you all for paying attention.
03:58Let's pray.
03:59Amen.
04:00Repeat after me.
04:01Hold your hands, close your hands and say,
04:03Father God.
04:04Father God.
04:06For your strength.
04:07For your strength.
04:08Is made perfect.
04:10Is made perfect.
04:11In my weakness.
04:12In my weakness.
04:13Help me.
04:14Help me.
04:14To be humble.
04:15To be humble.
04:16To be grateful.
04:17To be grateful.
04:18And to rely.
04:19And to rely.
04:20On your strength.
04:21On your strength.
04:22And on mine.
04:23And on mine.
04:24Everywhere I go.
04:25Everything I do.
04:27Everything I do.
04:29Help my faith.
04:30Help my faith.
04:31To be strong.
04:31Be strong.
04:32In you.
04:33In Jesus' name.
04:34In Jesus' name.
04:35Amen.
04:36Amen.
04:36Amen.
04:37Amen.
