Every song has a melody that makes it that song and not another. Simeon Trust teaches that every book of the Bible has one too - a single sustained sentence the whole book hangs on, which every passage connects back to. For 2 Corinthians it is this: God's power is perfected in weakness. That line, brought back from a preaching workshop in the valley earlier this year, is what opens this series. Hold onto it. It is the thread through everything that follows. But first, Corinth. In 146 BC a Roman general leveled the city and killed or enslaved everyone in it. Cicero had called it the light of all Greece. It lay in ruins for roughly a century before Rome rebuilt it - and what got rebuilt was a boom town of freedmen and traders, a place obsessed with status precisely because almost nobody there had inherited any. Paul plants a church in that city. Then he writes to it about comfort - the word lands again and again in the opening paragraphs - and about affliction, and about why the two are not opposites at all. A church built on rubble, in a city that worshipped strength. God's power is perfected in weakness. In Corinth, of all places.
