And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit— to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea. Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth. Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

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 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.

Vernon McGee will encourage you to keep walking forward in the right direction as you grow in your faith.
