Reflection | “Grace and Courage” | Bill Haley

This week, we share a sermon offered by Rev. Bill Haley back in 2018.  He reflects on 2 Corinthians 12 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012&version=NIV] and the connection Paul draws between God’s grace and our gratitude, especially in our areas of greatest weakness. In cultivating that gratitude, we develop true courage to face anything life throws at us.
