But I call God to witness against me—it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

In this journey through the Book of 2 Corinthians, All Things New explores Paul's theology of adventurous faith in this world and God's call for us to be bold. Kelly Minter helps us understand how the Christian walk may seem contrary to our natural tendencies, but it proves to be infinitely and eternally better. In this 5-day reading plan, you'll explore issues such as: how to deal with difficult relationships, trusting God with your reputation, grounding your identity in Christ, understanding the purpose of suffering and God's provision in it, and how we are to be gospel lights in the world.

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).
The Bible's letters weren't written to be studied from a safe distance — they landed in real cities, addressed real crises, and cost the people who received them something. This reading plan by Nathan Finochio walks through the New Testament epistles with theological honesty, tracing the single thread connecting every letter: Jesus is sufficient, preeminent, and better than every alternative. From the chaos of Corinth to the pressure of Philippi, the gospel kept doing what it always does—dismantling false systems, unifying divided people, and forming unlikely disciples into the image of Christ.
