    No Regrets I

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022
     | 1,380 views

    Two fundamental truths that I want to establish before I preach on revival in our month of prayer and fasting: first that revival is “fresh life based on a renewal to closeness to God,” and second, revival presupposes a church with a tainted or languishing intimacy with God.

    Background to passage: Paul is talking about a letter that he wrote to confront the church about a sin in the church. In brief, there are two kinds of sorrow/grief in view; godly sorrow vs. worldly sorrow. “The difference between godly grief and worldly grief is that the first issues in repentance ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 16, 2019
     | 4,789 views

    This passage shares the encouraging truth that "God . . . comforts the downcast." It also points out one of the major ways that He does that: through the people He's put around us.

    DOES GOD CARE ABOUT THE DOWNCAST? He cares enough that He has put the answer all around us. - 2 Corinthians 7:6 – “God . . . comforts the downcast” - We doubt. We feel discouraged and downcast and we wonder if God cares. - And this is a big deal because there are so many today who struggle ...read more

    Many today want to put aside any mention of shame as inappropriate. Paul, though, speaks of godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. What's the distinction and how can sorrow be a good thing?

    SMILEY RELIGION: “God wants me to be happy.” - 2 Corinthians 7:8. - Today so many presume that God’s job is to make them happy.

    Correction Of The Letter. Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 30, 2019
     | 3,926 views

    This Epistle was designed to produce pain in the Corinthian believers—and Paul felt very apprehensive about its effect on them. It was painful to him to write it, and he was well aware that it must cause deep distress among them to be scolded in this manner.

    August 26, 2014 Tom Lowe The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Lesson II.C.2.b: Correction of the Letter. (7:8–12) 2nd Corinthians 7:8-12 (NKJV) 8 For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same ...read more

    Paul said, “We despaired even of life.” It is evident that the record in Acts does not give all the dangers that threatened Paul in Ephesus.

    Message 9 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    Finish this sentence for me: “This is going to hurt me… (more than its going to hurt you).” That is a lie that parents have been telling since the beginning of time.

    In 2 Corinthians 7, we overall learn that godly grief brings about repentance and worldly grief emphasizes sorrow ‘cause we got caught. As the people of God, we are about repentance and restoration. Through repentance, God the Father brings about a change in us to become more like Jesus.

     | 439 views

    The church as an agent of moral and spiritual transformation is becoming lukewarm. Hard and bitter truths are no longer preached in many churches. The church must wake up and once again shake the world like the days of the Apostles.

    TEXT: 2 Cor 7:8-10 (NLT) "I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
