The Fruit of Biblical Discipleship

February 25, 2024 • Keith Doyle, Senior Pastor • 2 Corinthians 7:2–16

- Fruit Test # 1: A Culture of Genuine Community (2-7), “…I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy…” (4)

- Fruit Test # 2: A Culture of Genuine Contrition (8-16), “As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting…for you felt a godly grief…for godly grief produces a repentance…whereas worldly grief produces death…” (9,10)

Clarifying the Mission

May 12, 2024 • Caleb Roth, Associate Pastor • 2 Corinthians 10:7–18
