What point is he making? In 2 Corinthians 12:2–4, Paul mentions being "caught up to the third heaven." What does this mean, and what might Paul have experienced or seen there? Why do you think Paul refers to himself in the third person when describing this heavenly vision? What does this tell us about Paul and his purpose in sharing it? What do you think Paul's "thorn in the flesh" might have been? Why do you think God allowed it to remain? Read verse 9. What does it mean for God's grace to be sufficient for you? How can you practically "boast in weakness" so that Christ's power may rest on you? Read verse 10. Reflect on this paradox: "When I am weak, then I am strong." What does this look like in real life? Can you think of a time when God's strength showed most clearly through your weakness? Read 13:5. What is

What does it mean to be "born of the Spirit"? Do we have to be persecuted in order to be proven as real believers? Which Bible version do you recommend?

Are You Being Built Up—or Just Impressed? Some churches could win awards for production value. Smoke machines, light shows, maybe even a horse or a Harley down the center aisle. But when you hit the parking lot, what are you really left with? Goosebumps or the Gospel? The Apostle Paul wasn't chasing applause or followers. He wasn't trying to wow the crowd. He was building believers up in Christ. Big difference. The real battle isn't in the pews. It's in the mind!
