March 1, 2026 | What's Your Thorn in the Flesh? - Brett Meador

About this sermon

In 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Paul shares a deeply personal struggle he calls “a thorn in the flesh” – a weakness he prayed would be removed, but the Lord chose to leave in place. Perhaps you can relate as you pray for relief from your own burdens but see no change. As we study this passage, we learn how God uses our struggles to display His strength and how He develops godly character in us when we allow Him to work through our weakness.
