"Now Is The Day"

October 29, 2023 • Cameron Parkhurst • 2 Corinthians 6:1–13

While Paul experienced suffering and persecution in greater measure than the average person, he experienced the blessing and benefits of the Holy Spirit in greater measure as well. With passion, he pleads with his friends not to receive the God's grace in vain, but rather to let it have full effect in their lives.

THE WAY //

2 Corinthians is arguably the most heartfelt, emotional letter we have from the Apostle Paul. As he writes to his friends in Corinth and addresses some of the challenges they're facing, he encourages them to embrace the life that Jesus modeled. Christians, originally known as "followers of the Way", are empowered by the Holy Spirit to take on a new way of living, one that draws strength from weakness, humility, and generosity.

"The Way Of Comfort"

August 13, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst • 2 Corinthians 1:1–5

In the opening of his letter, Paul gives praise to "the God of all comfort" who gives strength to those who are suffering, and reminds them that we are comforted SO THAT we can pass on the strength that we've received to others around us. The Church is meant to be a waterfall of comfort & strength that we actively take part in. THE WAY // 2 Corinthians is arguably the most heartfelt, emotional letter we have from the Apostle Paul.

"Yes & Amen"

August 20, 2023 • Jonah Salyers • 2 Corinthians 1:15–22

The will of God is not some undiscernible force that evades us throughout our lives. When we walk in ‘the way’ of Jesus, every promise becomes “yes!” and “amen!” In this week’s message, we study more of 2 Corinthians 1, find out what it means to belong to Christ, and discover what it looks like to walk in the will of God like the Apostle Paul.

"The Way of Love"

August 27, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst

In this section of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, we see how much Paul loved the people of this church, even to the point of having difficult conversations that challenged them and called them higher. The same should be true in our relationships with one another, as we fight to stay unified, call out sin, and be guarded against the strategies of our very real Enemy.
