A Seattle Church

Thorns

In the final part of the mini-series, Gifted, Pastor Tyler challenges us to reframe our understanding of strength and weakness through the lens of faith. The central scripture, 2 Corinthians 12:5-10, reveals Paul's profound insight: true strength comes from embracing our weaknesses and depending on God's grace. We're urged to resist the worldly temptations of boasting in control, condemnation, or comfort. Instead, we're called to boast in our dependence on Christ, our humility, and our surrender to God's will. This counter-cultural approach reminds us that our limitations and struggles – our 'thorns' – are actually gifts that keep us reliant on God's power. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to consider: How might acknowledging our weaknesses open us up to experiencing God's strength in new ways? This message invites us to find freedom in vulnerability and to trust that God's grace is truly sufficient in all circumstances.
