1-2 Corinthians
The Hilarious Giver | 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Pastor Brent shares the biblical view on giving. God is the ultimate giver who gave us His Son to save us, reconcile us, adopt us into His family, and cause us to be co-heirs with Christ. God’s people are not to give out of obligation, but cheerfully as worship to our God who has given us everything we need and more.
Administering The Gift | 2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5
Our zeal as Christians must be more than good intentions, rather, it needs to be carried to completion so that it may bear fruit both in our lives and in the lives of others. Giving is not to be a grudging affair, but one of gladness and gratefulness as we ministry to one another through our giving.
The Lord Loves A Cheerful Giver | 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
God desires that we give cheerfully because His Word says that all we have is already from the Lord. When we give, we are acknowledging that our life is an offering to the Lord; we can trust God to provide for His people.
The Effects of Godly Sorrow | 2 Corinthians 7:1-16
Pastor Jeff teaches that godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation. Forgiveness and peace are only what God can give through the blood of His son Jesus Christ.
The Marks of Ministry | 2 Corinthians 6:1-18
Now that we have been reconciled to God and given the ministry and word of reconciliation, our lives are to be used by the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to the world.
Ambassadors For Christ | 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Jesus is risen! Not only has Jesus reconciled us to the Father, but He has given us the ministry of reconciliation and the word of reconciliation to share the good news and bring many into the kingdom of God.
Motivators For Mission | 2 Corinthians 5:9-16
One day believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive rewards for all that they have done for the Lord. Jesus is coming back soon, so Christians are called into obedience to share the Gospel with a heartfelt desire to see many receive Jesus as Lord and be saved from hell.
Our Heavenly Habitation | 2 Corinthians 5:1-8
All believers have great hope for life after death. For we are awaiting a day when we will receive glorified bodies and an eternal home with Jesus. Eternity isn’t great because of the blessings we receive, but because we get to spend eternity with Jesus.
It’s Just A Light Affliction | 2 Corinthians 4:13-18
Christians do not lose heart in the face of hardships. In light of eternity, they are but light and momentary troubles in comparison to the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory in the life to come.
Paradoxical Principles | 2 Corinthians 4:7-12
Paul admonished that believers in Christ are like cracked jars, yet they contain an invaluable treasure: Jesus Himself. Believers may experience trials for bearing witness to the Gospel, yet the Father will hold them up for His own glory.
We Do Not Lose Heart | 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
Today we learn that the gospel is veiled to those who are perishing. We are not the hero of our salvation story. Jesus is the hero and we’re bondservants.
Letter of the Law vs. Spirit of the Lord | 2 Corinthians 3:1-18
The Bible tells us that the Law intended to show us how sinful we truly are and how we all fall short of the glory of God. But the good news is that God provided the ultimate remedy to our problem of sin through Jesus Christ. Through Him, we can receive the righteousness of God and be filled with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
