What Can Paul Teach Us About Comfort? Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 7, 2012

Paul teaches us some important principles of God’s comfort in his response to their condition. Might not have 3rd letter because it was of such personal nature.

If we were to have all over Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth then this would be chapter 7 of his 4TH letter. 1st Corinthians would be letter number 2. We do not have his 3rd letter and by the tone we have in this chapter we can assess that letter number 3 was pretty harsh. ...read more

Forgiveness

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012
