2 Corinthians 2:6-7

In this devotional, we will walk through biblical stories of a few patriarchs who were betrayed. With each word scribed in this devotional, my hope and prayer are that you will find the strength to forgive those who have betrayed you and that you will trust that God has a plan in a plan.

Sin. Lies. Hypocrisy. They’re a sad part of the human experience. They’re a sad part of the people of God. In Acts 5, we see the early believers come face-to-face with them, and insights into them within ourselves. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts; the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

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.

Admonishment is one of the hardest acts of love a believer can offer, yet it is one of the most necessary. This five-day devotional explores how truth and grace work together in correction, guiding believers to build each other up rather than tear each other down. Through Scripture and reflection, discover how loving admonishment restores hearts, strengthens faith, and reflects the character of Christ.
