A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
2 Corinthians 5:1-6:2
A Christian Perspective
We know we have a permanent home
(meanwhile we groan in longing while we live by faith)
We know what it is to fear the Lord
(and we try to persuade others)
We don’t regard anyone from a worldly point of view
(and we know that now is the time to turn back to God)
The Heart of Gospel Ministry
2 Corinthians 3:1-4:6
Looking for signs of ‘successful’ ministry?
“are we beginning to commend ourselves to you again?”
2 Corinthians 3:1 – 5:12
Christ’s ministry changes hearts… (3:1-6)
This ministry is more lasting and more glorious even than Moses’ ministry (3:7-11)
So we have reason to be bold… (3:12-18)
… and not lose heart (4:1-6)
(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)
Do you smell like a follower of Jesus?
2 Corinthians 2:1-3:6
Conflict in Corinth, turmoil in Troas & mind-games in Macedonia… but the Gospel procession continues!!!
Unlike ‘many’, Paul’s confidence and competence to continue – come through Christ
We can learn, from the apostle, how to behave –
(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)
God’s Character & God’s Gospel
2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4
Despite criticism, opposition and any challenge…
God’s grace should shape our motives and actions
God’s faithfulness gives assurance – which others should see through us
God’s character and God’s Gospel must shape us and the way we proclaim Jesus
(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)
