Vision, Thorn, and Signs

Fellowship Bible Church Sermons · Sep 8, 2026 · 49m

2 Corinthians 12:1-13 August 30, 2026 AM. Paul gives the church three more reasons to accept his apostolic authority and teaching. They center on God and God's work in Paul, not in Paul himself. He explains that God gave him a heavenly vision, that God gave him a thorn to keep him humble, and God also permitted him to exercise apostolic signs. His emphasis is on weakness because God's power is very evident in human weakness. For these reasons, the Corinthians should give Paul a good hearing.
