Introduction: 2nd Corinthians is Apostle Paul’s pastoral follow-up with his beloved in the Church of Corinth. Paul’s pastoral instruction...

Paul experienced tremendous comfort the from the Lord and wanted to use his experience to strengthen his ailing brothers and sisters.

In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he encourages them to live out the gospel in the day to day matters of life.

Perseverance in the faith, endurance in the race is a testimony to the goodness and grace of Jesus Christ.

Our conduct should match our citizenship. As citizens of heaven, we should live in a certain way, a way defined by the Gospel.

When followers of Jesus love others through sacrificial acts of service, the gospel is valued and validated in the eyes of those watching.

Understanding what we worship helps us understand our hearts, and reveals what’s shaping the course of our life.

Mysticism, like legalism, has surfaced throughout church history. No technological advancement protects us from the danger of mysticism.

His main point is to teach again this central doctrine that the righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through works.

If we want to see faith produced in the hearts of those we love, we must have the right message, the right method and the right motive.
