2 Corinthians Lesson 5

Chapter 1:23-2:13
CAC, Sin, and Paul

There is much to learn from 2 Corinthians looking at the letter from a personal perspective. We will find answers to Questions such as:

(1)How did Paul exalt Jesus Christ and His grace? (2) How did Paul understand God's will for his life? (3) How did Paul relate to God and people?

SUMMARY
vv. 24, 9, 12 - DISCIPLINING GRACE: Paul cares about the sin
v. 23 - Paul wants a unifying resolution to the sin
vv. 24, 5, 10 - Paul Maintains a father/adult son relationship
v. 4 - Special love relationship of mutual joy
vv. 4, 6-8, 11 - HEALING GRACE

COMMENTS
Notice how Paul shifts from we (Team Paul) to me (Paul).






APPLICATION


  1. How does this father/son model affect our church planting?
  2. How does the model affect our mutual discipleship?
  3. How does this model affect the way we deal with the sins of others?
