2 Corinthians 10:11

Thousands of young people out of hopelessness and despair over their performance in competitive exams commit suicide when the results are announced. A lot of shame and humiliation is attached to failure but it is rarely talked about. This plan will inspire you to acknowledge the positive role of failures in your life and encourage you to stay the course and not quit.

In this 5-day study on 2 Corinthians, Christine Hoover guides you through one of Paul’s most personal letters to discover how God is the ultimate source of the strength and sufficiency you need. You’ll find that weakness is not a disqualifier or a flaw in our design. In fact, God shows Himself most powerfully in and through our fragility and vulnerability. We’re called, then, not to work harder or to hide our weaknesses, but to call upon God’s infinite resources and rely on Him.

The Bible commands us to care for the poor and oppressed. Come and explore the depth of God’s concern for them, and how you might answer the call yourself. Each day includes a real-life story or anecdote, Scripture and meditation, challenge, and prayer.

In his second letter to the church at Corinth, Paul encourages believers to live in the identity Christ has provided for them. Although as fragile and mundane as jars of clay, God’s people hold the inestimable treasure of the gospel in their lives (2 Corinthians 4:7). 2 Corinthians reminds us that we are ambassadors for Christ, tasked with showing and sharing God’s good news of reconciliation for all who believe (2 Corinthians 5:20).
