FRUSTRATED BUT FAITHFUL

Feb 8

This sermon, delivered by Rev. Alvin J. Gwynn Jr. at Historic Leadenhall Baptist Church, reflects on 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NKJV)—Paul’s teaching about the “thorn in the flesh” and God’s strength being made perfect in weakness. The message centers on how believers can remain faithful even when frustrated, trusting that God uses hardship to build resilience, humility, and deeper dependence on divine strength. The theme emphasizes that grace is sufficient, and that spiritual power often emerges most clearly in seasons of struggle.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NKJV)

A Vision of Paradise

7 even considering the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.

8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me,

9 but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

10 Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
