Rejoice in God (2 Corinthians 13:11-14)

Oct 3, 2010

We are coming close to wrapping up our study of the end times or eschatology. We continue now with the theme of sojourning through this world. You would think that once you have Christ this life is easy without much hardship. If we experience hardship as a Christian does that mean we are failing? How […]

Examine Yourself (2 Corinthians 13:1-10)

Sep 26, 2010

The Corinthian church has made the apostle Paul’s life difficult. It seems that it would be easy for the apostle Paul to forget about this church or to make another church his priority. The apostle Paul might be tempted to just tell this church to take a hike, and forget about his visit. However, Paul […]

What's So Grievous? (2 Cor. 12:11-21)

Sep 19, 2010

The apostle Paul is upset with the Corinthian church, and is afraid that when he comes to the church he will be grieved by the congregation. What is the issue that will grieve the apostle Paul? Is it that they have slandered him? Is it that they have turned from Paul? How can Paul be […]

A Blessed Thorn (2 Corinthians 12:1-10)

Sep 12, 2010

There is no doubt that John the baptist is a prophet. He is the last prophet called by the Lord, and he closes the Old Testament canon. It must have been a joy to be John as he is a prophet who sees the substance of the message he brings to the people. If this […]

Bearing with a Fool (2 Corinthians 11:16-31)

Sep 5, 2010

Merriam Webster states that A fool can be described as "a person lacking in judgement or prudence." If this is a true definition, then why would anyone want to be a fool? Who determines who is a fool and who is not a fool? What is the standard by which someone is defined as a […]

Bearing with a Fool (2 Corinthians 11:1-15)

Aug 29, 2010

We tell our children that they should not call one another fools. In fact, when Christ walked this earth he rebukes and gives a stern warning to anyone who would dare call someone a fool. If this is so bad then why does Paul celebrate his foolishness? What is good about being a fool? Why […]

Boasting in the Lord (2 Cor. 10:12-18)

Aug 8, 2010

We believe that God has created each of us with different skills, talents, and gifts. It is not encouraged that we compare ourselves to one another as we can be swelled with pride or grow discouraged. We ought to live unto Christ and compare ourselves to His royal standard. If this is true, then why […]

A Weak Warrior (2 Corinthians 10:1-11)

Jul 25, 2010

If there was a weapon that could destroy and level the strongest fortresses and defenses of the enemy it would be sold for top dollar. One would wonder what kind of armor it would have, what kind of stealth qualities, or how much fire power it would have. What if this weapon was invisible and […]

God Loves a Cheerful Giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-15)

Jun 27, 2010

The apostle Paul seems to holding forth for us a simple formula that the more you give the more you will receive from the Lord. Is this what Paul is saying? Is this what He is teaching? Is Paul defining wealth in a different terms than we understand or read into the text? Or is […]

Corinth's Gracious Willingness (2 Cor. 8:16-9:5)

Jun 20, 2010

As Christians we know that we do not live our lives to please people, but to please the Lord. As this is true why does Paul say that in the process of taking the collection he desires to be honorable in the face of man? Does this mean that the Corinthian church is to give […]

The Joy of Giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-15)

Jun 13, 2010

Paul exhorts the Corinthians to excel in this grace as well. He gives this exhortation in the context of the offering collected for the Jerusalem churches. Is Paul holding forth some sort of program that guarantees that as the Corinthians give they will receive more grace? Is he promising that the more we give to […]

The Joy of the Lord (2 Cor. 7:2-16)

Jun 6, 2010

Paul and the Corinthian church have had their struggles. Paul writes 2 Corinthians to help the church see the nature of suffering, valuing things in light of Christ, and seeing the centrality of the apostolic gospel. Now, Paul speaks of the joy of the Lord, and in particular the joy of seeing the Corinthians repent […]

A Temple of the Living God (2 Cor. 6:14-7:1)

May 30, 2010

Do you remember when King David desired to build a house for the Lord? The Lord would not let him build a house. However, the Lord covenanted to put one of David’s servants on the royal throne forever. The Lord will plant his people in a place forever. Israel does not dwell in the land […]

Commendable Servants (2 Cor. 6:3-13)

May 16, 2010

The Corinthian church continues to challenge Paul’s credentials as an apostle. It seems that Paul experiences too much suffering to be blessed by the Lord. How does Paul continue to develop his defense as an apostle? Does he counteract them by showing his blessing? Why would his suffering lend credibility to His apostolic ministry? On […]

Today is the Day of Salvation (2 Corinthians 5:17-6:2)

May 9, 2010

Many times when we make the case that the church is the new Israel we might think of Ephesians 2-3 where Paul speaks of the mystery of the gentiles coming into the house of God, and the house of God being one house. However, in a sense we can see the Apostle Paul’s ministry as […]

Valuing by Christ's Standard (2 Corinthians 5:11-16)

Apr 18, 2010

If you ever watch the antique road show on PBS you know how much people value the appraisal of the expert. Sometimes on the show people take what they deem to be junk to the antique auction, and are surprised to find out that their "junk" can fetch a hefty dollar at auction. It is […]

Longing to Be Fully Clothed (2 Cor. 5:1-10)

Apr 11, 2010

Thank you for downloading our sermon preached on Sunday, April 11, 2010. We know that we are those who are not going to dwell on this earth forever. In fact, Genesis 5 makes the mortality of man very clear by continuing to repeat the words, "and he died." Man will not establish an eternal legacy […]

A Treasure in Jars of Clay (2 Cor. 4:7-18)

Mar 21, 2010

Meaningless, meaningless, all is meaningless under the sun. If we walked around saying this all the time we probably would not be asked to be people’s dinner guest’s very often. Yet, these words are a paraphrase of the opening of the book of Ecclesiastes. In what sense is it true that everything is meaningless? How […]

Basking in the Lord's Glory (2 Cor. 3:12-4:6)

Mar 14, 2010

When the Lord created the world he commanded, and the world came into existence. That is a remarkable presentation of the glory, the power, and the kingly authority of our God. Is there anything today that even comes close to this incredible demonstration of his power? How does our conversion demonstrate this glory? How does […]

Recipients of a Greater Glory (2 Corinthians 3:7-18)

Mar 7, 2010

There are people in Corinth who seriously doubt the credibility of the apostle Paul. The apostle has defended his apostolic office by appealing to his suffering, but now he moves to the nature of glory. Why is glory so important? In what sense do we have glory now? How can we have glory in the […]

The Blessing of Life (2 Corinthians 3:1-6)

Mar 1, 2010

The apostle Paul knows that we do not ask Jesus into our heart. In fact, the door to Paul’s heart was kicked open, Paul was bought to his knees, and Paul was claimed as a prisoner of God’s holy war by the risen Christ. How does this seem to influence Paul’s thought? How does this […]

Paul's Ironic Triumphal Procession (2 Corinthians 2:12-3:3)

Feb 21, 2010

Paul states that he is on a triumphal procession. This is interesting language on the apostle’s part because the Corinthian church would understand this language clearly. It would shock this church to hear about this weak apostle glorying in his being lead in a triumphal procession. Do we really understand this imagery? Do we want […]

The Gospel of Forgiveness (2 Corinthians 2:5-11)

Feb 14, 2010

The apostle Peter asks the Lord an interesting question prior to Christ going to the cross. Peter wants to know how many times he should forgive his brother who offends him. The Lord tells him 7 times 77, basically saying that the number of times is infinite. Christ then speaks of church discipline in the […]

A Different Plan, One Intention (2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4)

Feb 7, 2010

In our day and age if one is perceived as flip flopping on various issues their leadership credibility is called into question. We wonder if the person is fit for public office. The Apostle Paul is accused of something similar. It seems that there are some in Corinth who doubt the credibility of the apostle […]

Suffering in Comfort (2 Corinthians 1:1-11)

Jan 31, 2010

If you asked someone about the measure of success they would probably talk about how much was accomplished in a lifetime. One would probably tally finished goals. The other thing would be how much good, profit, or amount of people benefited by those successful goals. One would not consider suffering as a mark of success. […]
