Nov 13 – Freedom & Forgiveness Aren’t Free!

Have you ever heard the phrase “Freedom is never free?” It sounds like a paradox when you say it, but it is true—“Freedom is never free.” In the same way, forgiveness is never free. That, too, sounds untrue at first. But before forgiveness takes place there is always a price to be paid. So how do freedom and forgiveness relate to each other? Actually they relate in at least 3-ways. What are they? Stay tuned and let’s find out. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Nov 9 – 2 Corinthians – Pt 9 – Paul’s Hardships

In today’s passage we're going to talk about Paul’s Hardships. We’ll read about his commendation of himself and his co-workers to the Corinthians but it wasn’t bragging. He also offers evidence that they have not been false apostles. Rather they have faithfully represented Christ through every kind of suffering and God's power has been obvious in and through them. He finishes by stating warmly that his heart remained wide open to the church in Corinth and he asked them to open their hearts to him again. It’s going to be an exciting study so let’s get to it.

Nov 6 – Love: God’s Most Excellent Way

Many people are familiar with 1 Cor 13. It’s a favorite that used many times in weddings. But Paul didn’t write this so that people would have something to read at weddings. Paul wrote this chapter to give the Corinthian church the solution to their problem of division. Today we’ll discover 3 reasons why, “the way of love” IS the most excellent way and how it can destroy division and uplift unity in our homes and in our church. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Nov 2 – 2 Corinthians – Pt 8 – We Are Ambassadors for Christ

Today’s text describes an appeal to those in Corinth who know Paul. Here we’ll find that Christ's love compels Paul to continue to urge all people that they be reconciled to God through faith in Christ, just as he was. He tells them that in Christ, God is not counting people's sins against them, but instead giving them credit for Christ's righteous life. And as Christ's ambassador, Paul pleads for all people to be reconciled to God through faith in Christ. Stay tuned and let’s find out more. Thanks for listening, God bless you!

Oct 26 – 2 Corinthians – Pt 7 – New Bodies

Last time, chapter 4 ended with references to the great suffering experienced by Paul and his fellow evangelists. And we know that Paul had unescapable threats to his physical life. But he was prepared for that. In fact, he longed for what would come after that moment. So how did he not become distracted? In today’s text it gives an explanation and application of why Paul so looked forward to coming glory. There are several glorious realities that await us. Let’s talk about it!

Oct 19 – 2 Corinthians – Pt 6 – Treasures in Jars of Clay

Have you ever acted in a disgraceful or dishonest way before? At one point or another in life many of us probably have. Did we mean it? Did we know better? In today’s study Paul insisted that he and his co-workers for Christ would never act in a way that was disgraceful or dishonest, though he knew some were blinded by Satan from believing their message about Jesus. But no matter how difficult Paul’s suffering was, he refused to quit. Why and why is that important for us? Let’s talk about it! Thanks for listening, God bless you!

Oct 12 – 2 Corinthians – Pt 5 – The Glory of the New Covenant

Today we’re going to talk about Paul's comparison of the glory of God as revealed in two covenants The first is the Old Covenant with Israel, second is the far greater glory revealed in the New Covenant of God's grace through faith in Christ. The glory of the Old Covenant is fading just as it did on Moses' face after he had been with God. Those who come to God through faith in Christ are forgiven for their sins and able to look on God's glory. The veil of unbelief must be removed by the Spirit through Christ. And for those who see Him, they will begin to become like Him. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.
