Sound the Battle Cry - Part 2

April 28, 2024 • Keith Doyle, Senior Pastor • 2 Corinthians 10:1–8

How should we approach, respond to and deal with personal conflict?

- Before You Do Anything…Check Your Attitude (1-3), “I Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ…” (1)

- Before You Do Anything…Check Your Artillery (4-6), “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power…” (4)

*The ‘Weapons’ of Truth, Love, Faith, Prayer

- Before You Do Anything…Check Your Aim (7,8), “Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone if confident that He is Christ’s, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we…” (7)

The Values of Christian Community

July 7, 2024 • Keith Doyle, Senior Pastor • 2 Corinthians 13:7–14

After defending himself and showing what a true apostle is, the Apostle Paul focuses on the opposite. What happens when believers are not striving to be true apostles? What healthy habits of discipleship are compromised when believers lack biblical integrity?

Great Expectations

June 30, 2024 • 2 Corinthians 12:20—13:2

Paul anticipates his visit to Corinth and challenges the believers with the expectations he has for them when he arrives. The expectations hold true for all disciples including us today. It’s God’s Power at work in us in our weakness that enables us to live out these expectations.

The Motivation for Ministry

June 23, 2024 • Caleb Roth, Associate Pastor • 2 Corinthians 12:11–21

In the concluding section of 2 Corinthians 12, Paul has “foolishly” boasted of his weaknesses in contrasting his ministry with the actions of the false “super-apostles. He knows God is watching and he wants these Corinthians to understand that this is what motivates his desire to not be a burden to them and why their continued growth in holiness is so crucial to his ministry. The answer to why our ministry is motivated—God is watching—may seem simple, but we should think deeper about what Paul says this pure motivation will look like.
