The Test of Faith | 2 Corinthians 12:11-13:14

/

The final pleas and encouragements to the church in Corinth.

The Corinthians seem ungrateful, disobedient and quarrelsome.
Things we are painfully vulnerable to too.

Here is Paul's final plea to the church:

1. Test the external (12:11-21)

  • Spoilt children - who is at fault? (12:11-13)

  • True Gospel Ministry spends like parents (12:14-18).

  • True Gospel Ministry takes responsibility like parents (12:19-21)



2. Test the internal (13:1-10)

  • A court summons (13:1-4)

  • Seeking restoration (13:5-10)



3. Final Encouragements (13:11-14)

The Christian CV | 2 Corinthians 11:16-12:10

Paul’s last argument against the false teaching super apostles is to adopt their own style. Paul will fight fire with fire… He will play them at their own game. He will become a fool to save the church from even greater fools. If your tendency is to love displays of human power and human credentials, here you will get your heart set straight as we see that God’s power is at work in weakness.

Praise God for the provision of godly teams. Praise God that finanical due care and attention was in the Bible long before it was in the UK banking system. This talk answers the question: “How can I give when I worried that the church is dodgy on money?“
