Young or old, new believer or seasoned saint… you can be confident the Lord wants to use you!  And isn’t that encouraging?  But we need to realize our sufficiency comes from God, and not in and of ourselves.  This comes to light through a study in Second Corinthians three, where Paul expresses His sufficiency is in the Lord!  Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn more about that.

Today on Abounding Grace we notice what happens when we try to operate our lives without being fueled by the Holy Spirit. If we want victory in our lives, we need the Holy Spirit and we must live by His power rather than our own flesh.   This was something noticeably missing in the lives of some Ephesians we’ll meet today.
