Do I have a thorn? Pastor Frank Dana (12/28/25)
🌵 Your weakness might be the very place God shows His strength.
In this message, we take a deeper look at what Scripture really says about the “thorn” in our lives and why God sometimes allows it to remain. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–19, James 1:2–4, and 2 Corinthians 12:4–10, we explore how hardship, humility, and perseverance shape our faith.
In this sermon, we talk about:
•Why joy is often a choice, not a feeling
•Paul’s humility in acknowledging his thorn
•How the thorn can be a messenger meant to hinder God’s work in us
•Why admitting weakness is the doorway to God’s strength
•How testing produces perseverance and leads to spiritual maturity
This message reminds us that God doesn’t waste our struggles. When we surrender our weakness to Him, He uses it to grow our faith, refine our character, and draw us closer to His purpose.
