The sermon on Sunday, August 10, 2025, will be from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10- “… Through Thorny Ways Leads to a Joyful End …” “Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.” -2 Corinthians 12:8

The Apostle Paul pled, and he pled three times, for the Lord to remove his ‘thorn in the flesh.’ Yet Christ responded, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Weakness and difficulty from our perspective inhibit us from realizing our personal plans and dreams for life. But, from Christ’s perspective, they open up new opportunities for spiritual growth and development. Through them, he teaches us not to rely on ourselves, but upon God who raises the dead (2 Cor. 1:8-9). We learn to embrace the thorn which once repelled us (12:9-10).
