Podcasts about Thorn in the flesh

Soren writes of the Apostle Paul's "Thorn In The Flesh" pouring "All of the agony into the brevity of the moment." This episode explores the existence of pain and joy in the same cup. And the more God uses us for His purposes, the more we may suffer.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we dive into Paul's "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) and how God uses our weaknesses to display His strength. Instead of removing Paul's struggle, God reminds him that His grace is enough. Join us as we explore how to embrace our challenges and find strength in God's power when we're at our weakest. This week, Pastor Craig Cooper is joined by fellow pastor on staff Elijah Merrill, the Technical Arts Director.Visit us online: crosswinds.church

I go on a major riff on my trip today to Copenhagen, talking about matters of such things. And, some personal reflection on my pain of over 40 years with my knee and head. Finally, we end with Soren's first paragraph of the Upbuilding Discourse "Thorn In The Flesh" and how the term is torn from its biblical context and used lightly and superficially to refer almost anything that doesn't go our way. Even the trivial. This verse was certainly about a serious matter and we need to see it in that light and what God may be saying to us through Paul's awful physical infirmity. That when he is weak (Paul), Jesus is strong. One who endured the thorns and Cross for us.

Paul's Thorn In The Flesh

Paul's Thorn In The Flesh

Episode 197. What was Paul's Thorn in the Flesh? This week we dive into the RTS mailbag. In 2 Cor. 12 Paul talks about a "revelation" that he received from Jesus: "my grace is sufficient for you." It's a challenging text for a number of reasons, not the least of which is identifying the "thorn" in question. How did Paul's conversation take place? Why three times? Join our discussion!

Friends, on this Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, our second reading is from Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians. The focus of the reading is “a thorn in the flesh” that was given to Paul “to beat me, to keep me from being too elated.” What was it? We don't know, but whatever it was, it wasn't trivial. We all have something like this—some physical, psychological, or spiritual suffering that's chronic and deeply troubling. Yet this struggle with the thorn in the flesh is very often what brings us back to God.

Discover the true nature of Paul's thorn in the flesh and its purpose. This insight deepens our understanding of God, His grace, and the liberating truth behind the thorn in the flesh.

Continuing our summer flashback series, this podcast, which originally aired March 29, 2011, features Timothy George and Robert Smith Jr. discussing James Earl Massey's sermon "A Thorn in the Flesh," which they consider an excellent example of the use of personal illustration in preaching. The full sermon follows their discussion.

Many theories have been advanced by New Testament scholars about the nature of Paul's "thorn in the flesh" he speaks of in 2 Corinthians 12:7. The theories include:  temptation, a chronic eye problem, malaria, migraines, epilepsy, a speech impediment, or even a person, perhaps "Alexander the coppersmith" who paul says did Paul "a great deal of Harm" (2 Timothy 4:14).  In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner follows the clues and concludes Paul probably had a severe eye problem, which greatly hampered his vision, and which was visible to anyone who looked at Paul's face.  Perhaps Paul had such severe cataracts that he could not see well, and his eyes were visibly cloudy, and obviously diseased.  Paul's physical problem was so severe that he had a permanent physician, Luke, the man who wrote the Gospel of Luke. 

Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called, "Amazing Grace!" In 2 Corinthians 12 Paul speaks of being given a “Thorn In The Flesh” to keep him humble. Last week we saw how we are more than conquerors through God's Amazing Grace. In this message we continue that conquering thought with: "The Thorn! Pinned By Grace!"

Sunday, December 17, 2023 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/17/23), Hank answers the following questions:The first time I read through the Bible I used the NIV. Do you think I should use a different translation the second time, such as the NKJV? (1:52)In Revelation 12 when the woman gave birth to the child, is this child referring to Christ? (3:00)What is the best way to read through the entire Bible? (4:57)What are your thoughts about online ordination? Is this legitimate? (7:11)In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul describes a thorn in the flesh. Why would God send a messenger of Satan to harass him? (16:12)Can you expound on Jesus' words in John 4:23? (21:53)When we are born again, do we become priests? (24:10)

Pastor Wigfall continues his series on the True Vine and provides an introduction to the book of Ephesians.  Ephesus was bound by many things that bound many people, cities, and towns in the United States.  He also provides a lesson on what Paul's thorn in the flesh was.  Many people think it was a sickness but the Old Testament shows what thorns were.

In the final week of The Paradox of The Cross, Pastor Samson preaches about the power of vulnerability and the strength found in God's grace. Just as the apostle Paul faced a "thorn in the flesh" and sought God's help, we too encounter challenges that leave us feeling weak and vulnerable. Sometimes, God's response may not be what we expect, but His grace is always sufficient and our weaknesses become a platform for His strength to shine through. Pastor Samson reminds us, when we feel weak, that's when we're strongest in God's eyes. Listen and be challenged.Support the show

God has a plan and purpose for our suffering and weakness. He calls us to partner with Him by faith. This episode discusses Paul's “thorn in the flesh”, Satan's role in human suffering, and the challenges of finding our strength and identity in Christ vs. our own.

II Corinthians 12:1-10 – Thorn in the Flesh

In this segment, we discuss how Christians are becoming more and more of a nuisance and "thorn in the flesh to society" as the World grows darker and more alienated from the one true God. The result of this is producing greater levels of persecution against believers across the Globe and even in parts of the West.

  The Apostle Paul was privileged to not only serve Christ as His apostle but was also given special revelations and visions, including the unique experience of being transported to Paradise. This incredible privilege could have led Paul to be proud and feel invincible. God protected Paul from this potential pitfall by humbling him with
