Trusting In Turbulent Times Series - In Weakness

Trusting In Turbulent Times Series - In Weakness: Paul continues in his letter to the church in Corinth, boasting in his weakness -- recognizing that it is in his frailty and limits where God's power will flourish. What is your "thorn"?

Trusting In Turbulent Times Series - Mankind, In God's Image

In the wake of the difficult and tense racial justice issues going on in our country this past week, we took a break from normally going through 2 Corinthians in this series to align ourselves with on how Scripture speaks to the topic of race. We take time to remember God’s image in every person, what He has called us to as ministers of reconciliation of the world back to Him, and how the beautiful diversity of race is reflected in His eternity.

Trusting in Turbulent Times Series - Worldly Sorrow VS. Godly Sorrow

2 Corinthians chapter 7 gives some insight into the type of relationship that Paul has with the Corinthian church. It was not always an easy one- Paul had to give some severe words to them. To some relationships, this could cause fractures and distance, from each other and from God. But Paul’s words were from a place of concern for their holiness, for what ways and to what extent they belong to God. And we learn that the right response to this kind of loving advice is not to express temporary sorrow and continue on, but that we are to see it as an invitation to godly sorrow, the kind that brings us to a changed lives living after God’s heart. And we rejoice in the fact that we are invited into this kind of mending of relationship with God through his kindness and forgiveness extended out to us through Jesus.
