The Powerless Church
(2 Corinthians 13:1-4) As Paul closes his second letter to the Corinthians, he gives them fair warnings about sin and the consequences of continuing in sin. He also advises them that the Lord is in the people and He is powerful in them, both to overcome sin and also to deal with the weaknesses of…

You’ll Never Walk Alone
(2 Corinthians 12:16-21) In my last few posts I have spoken a lot about the state of the modern church in many of it’s parts. How it seems to take advantage of the people who come into the church and how many of the teachers, preachers, pastors and ministers seem to be in it for…

Making The Gospel Free
(2 Corinthians 12:11-15) One of the great things we see in Paul was that he chose to make the gospel free to all those to whom he preached. He did not put any burdens upon any of the early churches because he did not want to burden them in any way. His aim always was…

My Power is Made Perfect in Weakness
(2 Corinthians 12:1-10) Paul boasts in this section of scripture. But his boasts are not like the boasts of most men. Here we see Paul boasting of his weaknesses and failings, not his strengths or achievements, as most men would do. Paul understood that all of the things he did well, all of his learning…

Suffering For Christ
(2 Corinthians 11:21-33 – Suffering for Christ) If ever there was anyone who suffered for the sake of the Lord, it was Paul. In this section he recounts any number of personal, physical and spiritual attacks on his person, many of which could have easily killed him. But they didn’t. The Lord protected him through…

Christian Freedom
(2 Corinthians 11:16-21) One of the worst things that can happen to a person, especially a Christian, is to brought into slavery. I am not talking about the kind of slavery we are familiar with, which is physical slavery where people are captured, sold and held in chains to do the bidding of others. No.…

False Apostles
(2 Corinthians 11:7-15) We are warned many times in the Bible about false teachers, false prophets, and here Paul also warns about false apostles. Paul’s concern is that there were people going around the churches, supposedly preaching and teaching the word, but ho were in actual fact seeking their own ends. They were looking for…

Taught By God
(2 Corinthians 11:5-6) There is a battle raging that has been going on since the very beginnings of the church, as we can see from these words written by Paul. 5 I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles. 6 Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am…

A Different Gospel
(2 Corinthians 11:1-4) I travel a lot each year, often going into distant cities as well as the remote towns and communities of outback Australia. In my travels I have often visited churches and listened to the messages being preached in those churches. Some of these have been small country churches with just a handful…

Boasting
(2 Corinthians 10:13-18) One of the things I heard years ago when I was in business, was that if you want to get ahead you had to be prepared to “blow your own horn.” To blow your own horn basically means to be prepared to put yourself up on a pedestal and to tell people…

Evil Comparisons
(2 Corinthians 10:9-12) There is a failure in human nature that is highly destructive and divisive. It appears first in young children and remains with most people to some degree throughout their lives. It is the propensity for people to make comparisons between themselves and others. This failing has led to great destruction and evil…
