The Ministry of the Thorn  PART A
2 Corinthians 12

Understanding Cups, Storms, & Thorns:
  • Cups teach about the wrath of God
  • Storms teach about the worship of God
  • Thorns teach us about the ways of God

Statements of Truth:
  • Our greatest triumphs are often followed by difficulties
  • Christianity does not exempt one from pain
  • Even the blows of Satan can be for our good
  • “No” is a valid answer from God to our prayers
  • When God permits pain and problems, He provides sufficient grace
  • Only when we confess our weakness can God demonstrate His complete power


I.  Paul’s Thorn  Verse 7
A.    PRIDE
B.    PAINFUL

Statement of Truth:

God uses suffering as a tool to build and mold the family of God
