Talks on 2 Corinthians
No Reconciliation Without Unity || NAIDOC Week || 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Neville Naden from Bush Church Aid brings today’s message.
There’s no reconciliation without unity. Secular reconciliation requires one person doing something for someone, and that person returning the favour. Biblical reconciliation though says that G…
Giving Contently || Generous Giving || 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Tim finishes our Generous Giving thinking about the attitude and results of giving. Are you content in your giving, giving cheerfully and not under compulsion? Are you thinking deliberately about your generosity?
Giving deliberately and generously is g…
Enthusiastic Giving || Generous Giving || 2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5
In this weeks sermon, the second in the Generous Giving series, Kirk talks about giving both generously and enthusiastically. Our western culture can often at times encourage us to spend money only on ourselves, and discourages us from donating to othe…
Embracing the gift of giving || Generous Giving || 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
In this new sermon series, Senior Minister Tim Johnson talks about giving in the church, both in modern-day and in the days of Paul. He talks about why we should give generously, and how it is useful.
The God Who Forgives || Tim Johnson || 2 Corinthians 7:2-16
REPENT. It’s one of those words you hear most often from wacko Christians on busy corners in the city, yelling to “REPENT!”. It’s a word that can make you cringe. But at the heart of this word, is something beautiful.
Tim finishes our 2 Corinthians ser…
The God of Holiness || Kirk Mackenzie || 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
If you aren’t a follower of Jesus right now, this reading might suggest you’re “wicked”, “in darkness”, “unclean” and “contaminated”. Rest assured – we don’t think that! Find out what this part of the bible is talking about with Kirk.
The God of Hard Times || Tim Johnson || 2 Corinthians 6:3-13
If you’ve been investigating Jesus and Christianity but find the behaviour of Christians a stumbling block, look more closely at Jesus. The only criteria of being a Christian is to admit that we’ve stuffed up, and aren’t perfect people. We are called t…
The God who Reconciles || Julie Blinco || 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2
This weeks service hit a couple of technical issues, so you’ll notice the video stuttering. Sorry!
Paul writes to the church in Corinth to not take the grace of God for granted. He uses plain language, without flowery language or big words to show the …
The God Who Raises the Dead || Andi Fidock || 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth describes human bodies as clay jars in chapter 4, and in chapter 5, as tents in which we are burdened and groan. The bible tells us that we will live in an eternal house in heaven – much better than a tent!
Traine…
The God Who Empowers the Weak || Tim Johnson || 2 Corinthians 4:1-18
Treasure hidden in clay jars. We are the clay jar – a not very impressive exterior. Within us though, is a hidden treasure of great value. As we continue our 2 Corinthians series, Tim explores clay jars and the treasure within them.
The God of Life and Freedom || Kirk Mackenzie || 2 Corinthians 3:1-18
We all have rules in our lives that dictate to a certain extent how we live our lives. Right now, in the lockdown, we have many extra rules going on as well. Some people are sticklers for rules – they love ’em, and will take them even further than orig…
The God Who Keeps Promises || Julie Blinco || 2 Corinthians 2:5-17
What do you smell like? One of Julie’s coworkers (who’ll remain nameless) thinks that coriander smells like hate. And he’s totally right. It’s awful. So why does Paul, in his letter 2 Corinthians suggest that to some, the good news of Jesus smells like…
The God of Comfort || Tim Johnson || 2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Where do you find comfort? Netflix? A doona? Food and drink?
God is described as the God of All Comfort, in Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church. Tim explores this idea of finding comfort in God, to begin our new series GOD: Through 2 Corinthians.
