God's Sufficiency

Pearls of Biblical Wisdom for Believers and Fathers

2Co_3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; In this podcast Stephen Cope and myself emphasize four points: 1) The Sufficiency of God and The Simplicity of Christ. 2) The Sufficiency of God and The Word of God 3) The Sufficiency of God and The Supernatural Works of God. Much of what we share is taken from 1 Corinthians 2.

The hymn that plays at the beginning of the podcast is entitled: SATISFIED Stanza One: All my life long I had panted for a draught from some cool spring that I hope would quench the burning of the thirst within Stanza Two: Feeding on the husks around me, Til my strength was almost gone. Longed my soul for something better, Only still to hunger on. Chorus: Hallelujah !!!!!!! I have found Him (Jesus Christ) Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings; Through His life I now am saved. Stanza Three: Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life, so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer (Jesus Christ) is to me.

Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isa 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
