🌹 The Thorn and The Rose 🌹

In this episode, we explore the profound truth that both thorns and roses—our struggles and our triumphs—are woven into our lives by God’s hand. Just as the Apostle Paul spoke of his “thorn in the flesh” in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, we uncover how God uses both hardship and grace to shape us, reveal His strength in our weakness, and draw us closer to Him.

Through scripture and powerful stories, we’ll see that while life’s thorns remind us of our need for God and even the reality of judgment, His grace brings beauty and hope, like a rose blossoming amidst the thorns. Together, we’ll reflect on how Jesus bore a crown of thorns, transforming our suffering into the ultimate gift of redemption.

Tune in to discover:

  • How God’s grace is sufficient in our weaknesses
  • What it means to carry our own thorns in light of Christ’s love
  • The beauty and purpose God brings through trials

Join us as we learn to embrace both the thorns and the roses, trusting that God is working all things for good in our lives.
