Tonight we look at II Corinthians 11 and find that the word around town is that Paul is a fool and they just have to put up with his foolishness like you do your drunk uncle. If you know St. Paul you know he’s not going to take this lying down, so he answers the […]

Paul was being really nice in the first 9 chapters of 2 Corinthians, offering words of comfort and grace to his people, but in chapter 10 he starts to sound more like Mr. T than Mr. Rogers. But sometimes we need some Mr. T to toughen us up. Tonight we learn how the “weapons of […]

If you have experienced the generosity of God, and want to respond by investing in the mission of Jacob’s Well and be an active part of the harvest of righteousness that God is bringing forth in Memphis, then I invite you to fill out a Pledge Card and give generously and cheerfully with high expectations […]

When you have been forgiven much, you love much.  When you grasp the grace of God, you aren’t so critical and judgmental towards others.  But you can’t get the grace of God until you meet the God of grace.  In 2 Corinthians 8, the Macedonians give an example for us all of giving sacrificially and […]

Depression is something that so many in our world today struggle with and is addressed powerfully in 2 Corinthians 7:2-16.  God will not leave the downcast cast down, yet while the body of Christ comforts the afflicted, we are also called to afflict the comfortable.  Sometimes tough love is just what we need to wake […]

In order for us to experience reconciliation, sometimes there has to be some separation.  We need to get unyoked from the people, places, and things that keep us from all God created us to be.  This has led to some crazy Christians revolting against culture in an outside-in religion, but can serve as an invitation […]

There is hope for reconciliation of estranged relationships through a strategy of offense and defense, “weapons of righteousness in the right hand and the left.”  By confronting false ideas with the truth of the gospel and seeking to live into our lives with integrity, we can see God do for us what we cannot do […]

When we get a fresh start with Jesus, our perspective changes and our lives  might look a little crazy to the rest of the world.  This new creation comes through seeing the light and separating light from the darkness.  The old is passed away and the new is come!

They thought Paul was crazy, they thought Jesus was crazy, and when you wholeheartedly decide to give your will and life over to the care of God, they will think you’re crazy too.  But you’re in good company.  What is your response to Christ’s crazy love?  Will you sell your car and give the money […]

As we become more and more transparent and honest with who we are, the light of Christ shines through and renews us day by day. Our momentary afflictions aren’t even comparable to the eternal weight of the glory to come. The Holy Spirit is the deposit and our death is the payoff. [mp3player width=200 height=150 […]
