The Fruit of Thorns

In these deeply personal words of the Apostle Paul, one sees the man that emerged from the "thorns"--not only the one he received shortly after his conversion and calling, but others that followed him throughout his ministry. The sermons focuses on this man he had become, and this man shows the goal toward which the Lord works in everyone that is born of the Spirit. This new Paul is a man of love, who illustrates in his remarks the meaning of I Corinthians 13. It is important that every believer undertand what God is accomplishing and will bring to completion in every one of his elect. The cost to us is not cheap.
