About this sermon

Reliance on Christ is crucial in the life of a Christian, yet we like to depend on our own abilities instead. In this sermon Alistair Begg asks us to contrast our modern view of self-reliance with the truths of Scripture. When we face our inadequacies and admit our absolute need of God’s help, we display His glory to those around us. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:12-3:6 Preached: October 26, 2011 Find more sermons by Alistair Begg at https://tfl.org/sermons
