Isaiah, Part 106 | Power Perfected In Weakness

About this episode

Dr. James Tour discusses how God uses trials to refine His people, connecting it to the concept of weakness leading to spiritual strength.

Teaching on Isaiah 48, Dr. James Tour emphasizes that God allows trials not to destroy but to refine His people, restraining judgment for His own glory and their growth. He connects this to Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” showing that weakness and hardship cultivate humility, dependence on God, and true spiritual strength.
