Title: Test Yourself

Title: Living Together In Christian Unity
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:11-21
Description: Paul's goal in writing to his friends is to deepen their faith. As he defends himself and his ministry against specific accusations, he puts forward an example of relating to the Corinthian church, where we find an encouragement to live a self-denying, unified life with brothers and sisters in Christ. The power to live like that comes from our identity in Christ since all of us sinners need a savior. Our purpose is to bring all glory of God.

Title: God's Sufficient Grace
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
Description: The Christian life inevitably involves hardship. We want God's victory to look like our success over those hardships, but Paul tells us a different story. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness, whether we win in this life or not.

Title: Why to Give
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
Description: One of the main reasons Paul wrote this letter was to urge the Corinthians to send money to impoverished Christians in Jerusalem. But his approach wasn't what you might expect. He doesn't scold them. He doesn't shame them. He just reminds them of God's grace to them.

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Good Grief
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

Title: The Temple of God
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Description: No one can live without hope. That's why Peter begins his letter with this profile of Christian hope--a secure hope because it begins and ends with God. Paul confronts Christians with a direct challenge to be holy--set apart from anything that stands against God. But that challenge is rooted in a precious, mind-bending promise. God has promised to live among his people.

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Sorrowful Yet Rejoicing
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13
Description: Are Christians supposed to be happy? It depends on what you mean by happy. If Paul's description of his life is our guide, we should expect our lives to be sorrowful. And we should expect to be always rejoicing.
Date: 03/26/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Reconciliation
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
Description: The Bible teaches that we were all made for a relationship we have broken. Our deepest need is reconciliation. This text shows us how to get peace with God, and how to spread it.
Date: 03/19/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: In Christ
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:11-17
Description: "In Christ" is a phrase that comes up all throughout Paul's letters. It's easy to pass right over it without paying much notice. But what does it mean to be "in Christ"? And why is it so important?
Date: 03/12/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: What Are You Waiting For?
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Description: Waiting is a basic Christian posture. We walk by faith, not by sight, until God's promises come to pass. In this passage Paul clarifies what it is that we're waiting for, and what we do while we wait.
Date: 03/05/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Beyond Comparison
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Description: Paul says the problems we face now can't compare to the eternal glory we're promised in Christ. He says we get this truth when we focus not on what we can see but on what we can't see. But how do we compare what we can see to what we can't see?

Speaker: Matt Givens
Title: Jars of Clay
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7-15
Description: Because of Jesus, the world's greatest treasure comes hidden in jars of clay--common, unexceptional, even fragile and weak. That means, for the Christian, suffering is never what it seems.
Date: 02/19/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Freedom
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:12 - 4:6
Description: True freedom, the freedom that comes by God's Spirit, is not primarily freedom from something holding you back. It's freedom for--freedom to see, to enjoy, and to be transformed by the glory of Jesus.
