In this message, Ben walks through the closing chapters of 2 Corinthians, highlighting Paul’s deeply personal reflections on weakness, grace, and spiritual maturity. Ben explains how Paul refuses to boast in his spiritual experiences, choosing instead to boast in his weaknesses because they reveal the power of Christ. Ben explains that, like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” God often sustains us through struggles rather than removing them.

In this message, Skip explains how Paul teaches the Corinthians that true Christian generosity flows from grace, not guilt, pressure, or obligation. Using the example of the Macedonian churches, Paul shows that real giving is joyful, sacrificial, and rooted in the generosity of Jesus Himself. Skip contrasts this biblical vision with modern distortions—especially prosperity‑style teaching that treats giving as a transaction to get something from God.
