Clarifying the Mission

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

How do we regain clarity following conflict?

- Edifying others without foolish compromise (7-11), …authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you. 2 Co 10:8

- Evaluating outcomes without false comparisons (12-15a),…when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. 2 Co 10:12

- Expanding objectives without forced commendations (15b-18), as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged, 2 Co 10:15 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. 2 Co 10:18

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.

The Blessing of Christian Weakness

June 16, 2024 • Keith Doyle, Senior Pastor • 2 Corinthians 12:7–10

Last Sunday, we saw Paul speak of two very different but connected experiences, one ecstatic and one painful. At the conclusion, he told us that Jesus gave to him these words of comfort, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Today we’ll explore this most compelling promise to learn how it helps us in our weakness.
