You’re an adult. You shouldn’t have any problems. Right?

Main message: Spiritual maturity isn't about hiding or eliminating weakness but about recognizing your weakness so God's grace can work through it; God's power is made perfect in our weakness.

Key points:

• The deepest fear is admitting our own weakness, and maturity tempts us to stop showing it.
• You can't mature by subtracting weakness and expecting power—"weakness minus weakness = power" is false.
• God doesn't always remove our weaknesses (Paul begged to have his "thorn" taken away).
• The right "math" is my weakness + God's grace = power.
• The church and individual believers must be honest about weakness so God's power can be evident.

Scriptures mentioned: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
