Glad to be back with you after the summer break! You
recall that during the first quarter of this year we studied Paul’s
first letter to the Corinthians. Our study this quarter moves to
Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth. This week we find
out about how we can be “jars of clay” happily filled with
treasures. Let’s dig in!

I love to go camping. Imagine my joy when I found
that Paul is talking about camping (among other things) this week!
Let’s find out what camping has to do with Christian living!

Has there been a time when someone close to you was
mad at you? Your spouse, your children, your friend, your boss?
It feels bad doesn’t it? When you work out your differences and
once again are on good terms it feels very good, right? Overcoming
differences and being close again is called reconciliation. That
is our subject of study this morning.

We ended our discussion last week with Paul’s plea
for fairness. He said to the Corinthian church, we have opened our
heart to you, we have given our all to you, isn’t it fair that you
open your heart to us? This week Paul continues with a discussion
of the reason why all the Corinthians may not be opening their
hearts to God. Let’s dive in to see what we can learn about
keeping our own hearts open to God!

This week our lesson is about giving. Since this is
not a natural impulse of the unconverted heart, let’s see what
lessons we can learn about giving.

This week we continue our study of Paul’s message to
the Corinthian church about giving. I chuckled when I first read
our text for this week. Let’s get into our study and see what we
can learn about “fundraising,” generosity and humor!

This week Paul changes course in his letter to the
Corinthians. In our study this week and the next two weeks we will
find that Paul is defending himself and verbally “spanking” the
Corinthians. Let’s see what lessons we can learn for our lives!

You remember last week Paul told us it was
foolishness to boast (2 Corinthians 11:17, 21), but he felt
compelled to boast to the Corinthians because it appears they were
dazzled by all of the boasting done by his opponents. This week
Paul treats us to some amazing boasting of his own. Let’s dig in
and be amazed!

This week we review some of the highlights of 2
Corinthians. Specifically, we look at some of the promises which
we can claim for our ministry.
