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:  No Other Jesus
Scripture:  2 Corinthians 11:1-15

Description:  In this text Paul unleashes a withering attack on teachers he calls false apostles and servants of Satan. He accuses them of peddling a counterfeit version of Jesus and his gospel. What exactly is Paul worried about? And how can we avoid it ourselves?

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.

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.
