How do these contrasting approaches work in the modern world? Join us for some ideas. The video from Mrs Maisel early in the sermon can be found here: https://youtu.be/pvKe0c007Cc

We are reminded that God graciously offers us grace to overcome our weakness. We are encouraged to rely on God and be open with our vulnerabilities.

Cultivating Humility Many times in my life, the greatest learnings have come from failures and the struggles I have had to endure.
