Glorifying In Infirmity
Paul is recounting his hardships in life. These troubles came not only from things without but also from carrying the burden of concern for all of the churches. He is boasting/glorying in these things in order to establish his credibility with the Corinthian believers because false teachers had come in and were attacking his authority. He is glorying, not in spite of but because of these afflictions and infirmities - he says this four times (2 Corinthians 11.30, 12.5, 12.9, 12.10).

Slivers and Thorns
Often we look at our trials and weaknesses, even our circumstances with an attitude of "What did I do to deserve this?" Larry Crawford brings the word of God to bear on this attitude, looking to Paul's example in II Corinthians chapters 11 and 12. Paul understood that his weakness meant God's power was displayed. Larry challenges us to see how God longs to use our weakness to display his great power!

Samson: Strength Out Of Weakness (Judges 16:18-30)
Samson was a strong “man’s man” who frequently acted like a hot-headed gangster. It is not, however, in Samson’s strength that we see God’s greatest victory, but in Samson’s moment of greatest weakness. In this sermon, we see that finding our mission and calling will mean leaning into our weakness and leading with the “fierce meekness” brought about by the Gospel.
