Sermon Replay : 5.11.25 - Pastor Tara Beth Leach
Pastor Tara Beth Leach explores the theme of resilience in her sermon, using the metaphor of jars of clay to highlight our fragility and the divine treasure within us. She draws on the Apostle Paul's experiences of suffering and perseverance, emphasizing that despite feeling hard-pressed, perplexed, or struck down, we are not abandoned or destroyed because the power of God resides in us. She also shares personal moments of vulnerability in her journey as a parent and pastor, illustrating that our fragility can become opportunities for God's power to manifest in our lives. Ultimately, she encourages recognizing our weaknesses as avenues for God's strength and calls for community support in navigating life's challenges.
SHOW NOTES
The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.
We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!
