Playing Hurt

Speaker: Pastor Ken Burgess
Series: Encouragement in Troubling Times #24
Title: “Playing Hurt”
Scripture: 2 Cor. 11:22-30
Date: 10-30-16 Sun. AM

Description: The sports world is full of athletes who played hurt and overcome great odds and obstacles. Christians need to learn to “play hurt” in the Christian life. It is amazing how easy it is for Christians to give up and quit. The Apostle Paul suffered much for Christ during his ministry. He did not want to boast of his sufferings, but the Corinthian believers’ acceptance of the false apostles made it impossible for him not to do so.
