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.

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.

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.

Title: Reconciliation
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

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.

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?

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.

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.
Date: 02/12/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Proof in the Pudding

Title: Fragrant Knowledge
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:12-17

Title: Loving Correction
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:11
Description: Here are four things we can learn from Paul about how to correct one another in a healthy way.
Date: 01/22/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Godly Sincerity
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:12-22
Description: One of the main reasons Paul wrote this letter was to defend his own sincerity against people who thought he was speaking from both sides of his mouth. And sincerity is certainly worth defending. You want to know that someone means what he says, that he's not holding anything back, and that you can trust him to follow through. But sincerity is easier to require from someone else than to produce consistently in ourselves. Paul explains how the grace of God is the only sure path to the sincere lives we want.
