I am so excited about this week’s word that God has for us. I think there are some challenging wake up calls that we can embrace and some things we can celebrate as a church. By the time Paul writes this second collection of letters to the church at Corinth, they are maturing spiritually, and need more exhortation than rebuke. We find a pastor desperately wanting them to become the fullest expression of who God created them to be. The community struggled to define its identity as the church in a complex and sophisticated urban setting. We see, in these writings, Paul’s relationship with a beloved, but stubborn church plant, that causes him to have to defend and explain the mission, his apostleship and the implications of his authority, even in his absence. We will cover the ideas of unity, sacrificial service, generosity and lastly this idea of strength in weakness. Please have your Bibles ready we will be looking at several passages you will want to highlight. See you Sunday!
