Horizon Church November Bible Reading Plan: A Call to Holiness - 1 & 2 Corinthians預覽

In 2 Corinthians, Paul writes with deep emotion to the church in Corinth, following up on his first letter. This time, he defends his ministry and encourages the believers to remain faithful in the face of hardship and criticism. The letter is filled with personal reflections, offering insights into Paul’s heart as a leader and servant of Christ.

One of the central themes of 2 Corinthians is the idea of strength in weakness. Paul teaches that God’s power is made perfect in our weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9), reminding believers that they can trust in God’s strength when their own fails. Paul also emphasises reconciliation, urging the church to forgive and restore relationships, both with one another and with God.

The letter challenges believers to live with integrity, generosity, and hope, knowing that our struggles are temporary and that we are being transformed by God’s grace. Ultimately, 2 Corinthians calls us to depend on God’s power in all circumstances, trusting that His grace is sufficient for every need.
