16 The Grace of Cheerful Giving – 2 Corinthians 9

AM Service, 07 September 2025 We live in a culture that measures value by how much you gain—how much you own, how much you save, how much you can keep. But the kingdom of God operates on a radically different principle: it measures by how much grace you have received, and how freely that grace flows through you to others. In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul is not trying to squeeze money from reluctant people. He is writing to a congregation…

15 Visible Love and Proven Integrity in Gospel Ministry 2 Corinthians 8:16–24   

AM Service, 31 August 2025 Brothers and sisters, we live in a time when trust is in short supply. News of fraud, scandal, and betrayal has made people cynical—especially when it comes to money and religion. But long before our day, the apostle Paul understood that gospel ministry must be adorned not only with truth, but with visible trustworthiness. In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul has been urging the Corinthians to complete their promised offering for the poor saints in Jerusalem.…

14 The Grace of Giving – 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

AM Service, 24 August 2025 When we think of generosity, we often think of the wealthy giving to the needy, or of church fundraisers and stewardship campaigns. But in this passage—2 Corinthians 8—we encounter something far deeper, more beautiful, and more powerful than any of those worldly ideas. Here, the Apostle Paul speaks of giving as grace. Not merely charity. Not obligation. But grace—a visible outworking of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the hearts of His people. The background…

13 Godly Grief and Gospel Joy – 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

AM Worship Service, 17 August 2025 We’ve all experienced the pain of broken relationships—especially those within the church. A word spoken in haste, a rebuke misunderstood, a silence that grows into distance. Few things weigh more heavily on a pastor’s heart—or a believer’s conscience—than strained fellowship among the people of God. The Apostle Paul knew that pain. His relationship with the Corinthian church had been wounded by conflict, confusion, and rebuke. But in this passage—2 Corinthians 7:2 to 16—we are…

12 Perfecting Holiness In The Fear Of God – 2 Corinthians 6:11-&:1

AM Sermon, 10 August 2025 One of the great dangers for Christians—especially in a world filled with distractions, pressures, and competing loyalties—is the slow drift toward compromise. We rarely wake up one morning and say, “Today, I will walk away from wholehearted devotion to Christ.” No—the drift is subtle. Our hearts grow comfortable with sin in small doses. We keep certain relationships, habits, or ambitions that quietly pull us away from undivided fellowship with God. This was happening in Corinth.…

09 Living by Faith in the Hope of Glory – 2 Cor 4:16-5:10

AM Sermon 20 July 2025 We live in a world that is constantly reminding us of our weakness. Bodies wear down. Minds grow tired. Circumstances change. Relationships strain. And death looms on the horizon. The temptation to lose heart is very real. Paul knew this. His ministry was marked by suffering—beatings, imprisonments, hunger, slander, and even the daily pressure of concern for the churches. And yet, in the face of all this, he writes: “So we do not lose heart”…

08 Treasures in Jars of Clay – 2 Corinthians 4:7-15

AM Sermon, 13 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, do you ever feel fragile, like you’re barely holding together? You strive to serve, parent, or persevere, but wonder if your weak, ordinary life can matter eternally. You’re not alone. The apostle Paul felt this too, yet he knew God’s secret: He uses frail vessels to carry His glory. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul reveals his own struggles—harassed, perplexed, attacked. Yet through his weakness, Christ’s power shone. Just before, in verse 6,…

07 The Light of the Gospel – 2 Corinthians 4:1-6

AM Worship Service, 07 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, have you ever felt like giving up?Perhaps you’ve prayed for a loved one for years, and their heart seems no softer today than when you first began. Maybe you’ve labored in Christian service—teaching, witnessing, parenting, praying—but the fruit seems small, the opposition great, and your strength almost gone. The Apostle Paul knew that temptation. He knew what it meant to be hard-pressed, misunderstood, opposed, and even betrayed—especially in the work of…

06 Beholding the Glory of Christ 2 Corinthians 3:7–18

Sunday AM, 22 June 2025 Imagine a man trying to warm himself on a cold morning by staring at a painting of the sun. He studies the brushstrokes, analyzes the colors, and appreciates the artistry. But he never steps outside to feel the sun’s actual warmth. That is what it’s like to know about Christ without truly beholding His glory. But let me ask you this: How often are our eyes fixed there—on Him, beholding His glory? Is it not…

05 Our Sufficiency in Christ – 2 Corinthians 3:1-6

AM Worship Service, 15 June 2025 In our age of credentials, degrees, endorsements, and carefully curated social media profiles, people often measure their worth and credibility by external validation. We value the right references, impressive resumes, and certificates framed neatly on the wall. But imagine if someone asked you to prove that your Christian faith and ministry were legitimate—not through paper documents, but by the lives you’ve influenced. Could you confidently point to lives visibly transformed by the power of…

04 The Fragrance of Christ – 2 Corinthians 2:12-17

Preached at AM Service 08 June 2025 As we come to this portion of Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, we find ourselves drawn into a vivid picture of ministry—its struggles, its triumphs, and its eternal significance. Paul, the faithful apostle, is remarkably transparent as he recounts a challenging time in his ministry. While ministering in Troas, Paul found that, even though God had clearly opened a door for effective gospel proclamation, he was deeply unsettled because he could not…
