2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Genesis 32:22-31; Psalm 73:21-26; Matthew 5:1-6

What do we do when God doesn't take the pain away? This message looks at Paul's thorn in 2 Corinthians 12, Jacob's limp at the river, and the cross itself to show that weakness is not a verdict on our faith, our usefulness, or our worth, and that God's grace is often most active inside the limitations that remain. Strength, in the kingdom of God, is something we receive, not something we generate.
