Sermon: “God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle” from Dan Mitchum

Dan Mitchum - January 19, 2025

God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle

“I know you’re going through a tough time right now. You feel like you’re sinking. The burden seems too heavy. But you’re going to be all right. Remember, God never gives us more than we can handle.” Has a well-meaning Christian brother or sister ever attempted to reassure you with words like these? This cliche would be comforting if it were 100 percent true. But, at best, it’s only half true. Yes, the Bible promises God will never let us be tempted beyond our ability. But, when it comes to tests, trials, and troubles, God often gives us more than we can handle without relying on His strength and ever-present help. Join us tomorrow as we discover why this is one of God’s greatest gifts to us.

Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 10:13

From Series: "Christian Cliches that need to go"

Cliches. They’re everywhere. We see them on bumper stickers and signs. “The grass is always greener on the other side.” “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “All’s well that ends well.” “Time heals all wounds.” These and others sound good and true. But are they? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. But what about Christian cliches? Are they biblical or not? This series will deconstruct some of the most common Christian cliches. “God helps those who help themselves.” “Let go and let God.” “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” “I’ll pray for you.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” And, “Just forgive and forget.” You won’t want to miss a week of this new series.
