The Book of 2 Corinthians was written during a time of reconciliation and renewed commitment between Apostle Paul and the Corinthian church. After addressing previous issues of rebellion and immorality, Paul now focuses on themes of generosity, comfort, encouragement, and the power of weakness. He provides insights into topics such as suffering, forgiveness, the new covenant, and spiritual warfare.
This churchwide Bible study on the book of 2 Corinthians will reflect on the transformative power of God’s grace as we explore Paul’s profound relationship with the Corinthians—from past struggles to present victories; from affliction to divine comfort. Through this, may we gain understanding how to navigate trials, embrace God’s strength in our weaknesses, and live out our faith authentically in today’s world.
