The Power of a Goby

Aug 31, 2025    Toby Slough

In this powerful message, we're reminded that our struggles don't define us - God's truth does. The story of Paul's thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7-9) teaches us that God's grace is sufficient, even when He doesn't remove our challenges. We're encouraged to replace lies with truth, especially when battling anxiety or depression. The practice of declaring God's promises, even when we don't feel them, isn't hypocrisy - it's faith in action. By consistently affirming our identity in Christ, we can overcome the undertow of negative thoughts and emotions. This message challenges us to become a community where vulnerability is welcomed, and where we speak life into each other's situations, no matter how difficult they may seem.
