About this sermon

8/03/2025 “A thorn in the flesh” can be anything or anyone that causes you pain or suffering. Paul did not define exactly what his was, but it may have been physical affliction or external opposition. Either way, his "thorn" was painful and difficult, and he learned much from his trial as he persevered through it. How well do you handle the pain in your life? What is your “thorn in the flesh” and how should you persevere through it? Pastor Gary gives an encouraging word to help those who are going through trials in today’s study from 2 Corinthians 12. 00:00 - Introduction 00:17 - A Thorn In The Flesh 05:26 - What was Paul's "Thorn In The Flesh?" 16:06 - A 'Thorn in the Flesh' Will Keep Me: 16:35 - 1) Teachable 19:58 - 2) Humble 22:49 - 3) Oriented Toward Heaven In Prayer 26:16 - 4) Reliant On God's Grace And Strength 27:33 - 5) Near To Jesus ABOUT US: https://cornerstonechapel.net/hello GROW: If you made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior text "I have decided" to (703)844-9969.
