Oxford Bible Church - Living in the Last Days (audio)

Join Derek as he delves into the topic of Paul's thorn in the flesh, exploring its significance and implications for faith and healing. This lecture examines traditional interpretations, biblical contexts, and theological insights to shed light on this often-misunderstood passage. Discover how suffering and weakness can lead to a deeper reliance on God's grace and strength. One common objection to the claim that it is God’s will to heal His people is Paul’s THORN in the FLESH. Many say that it was a sickness that God gave Paul to keep him humble, and that when Paul asked to be healed God said 'No.' In this video, Derek proves that this interpretation is wrong. The key questions are: (1) what is Paul’s Thorn?, and (2) where did it come from - from God or the devil? The answers are made clear in God's Word. We also explore the significance of God's answer to Paul: "“My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGTH is made perfect in WEAKNESS.”
