We've probably each had a time where we wanted to help someone or give to God's work but were unable to because the moment found us unprepared financially. We may not realize it, but one of the reasons we might miss an opportunity to give is simply because we've failed to making giving a regular spiritual discipline. What should Christians do to make sure they fulfill a desire to give? And how do make sure we are "ready" to give? Consider these questions and more in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

What does it take to be a regular and faithful giver? Many times, our hesitation to give comes from a fear that we what we give will make it impossible to meet our own needs, or wants. In today's study, we examine another principle 2 Corinthians 8-9 give us on become generous givers. That principle is that sacrificial giving can only be accomplished through our trust that God will supply all our future needs. We hoped you are blessed and challenged by another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

In the midst of Paul's encouragement to the Corinthians to give generously towards the collection they were taking for needy believers, Paul references Christ's own example of impoverishing himself to make us rich. This statement is often used as a standalone statement by prosperity teachers to prove that the purpose of the gospel is to make believers materially wealthy. In this study, we'll see what the true context of this statement is and why it's an important example for Christians to remember in learning how to be generous and willing givers of what God has given to us. We hope you are blessed and challenged by another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

What factors determine generous giving in a Christian's life? Many times, people think the most important factor in being a generous giver is prosperity. After all, how can I give what I don't have? In today's text, we'll see an example of a group of believers described as being in "extreme poverty," and yet "overflowing with generosity." How can poverty and generosity go together? We'll consider that question and more in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

What sort of qualities show a person is truly repentant? That's the focus of today's study. We've reached a point in our series on 2 Corinthians where Paul writes about the good report he received from Titus about the Corinthians' reaction to his first letter. We'll examine several characteristics the church displayed that are instructive about what genuine repentance looks like. We hope you are blessed and encouraged by another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

How do people behave when their biggest failures become public knowledge? Some of us try to hide ourselves away from those we've hurt and those who know what we've done. Some people make grandiose gestures trying to assuage people's disgust with our failure. What does God want us to do when he confronts us with sin? How does this response lead to life and salvation while an a "worldly grief produces death?" Find out in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

Have you ever felt troubled by a pattern of inconsistency in your Christian life? Perhaps sometimes you are fervent in spirit in your service to God, but then there are other times where you're going through the motions of the Christian life while sinful thoughts and impulses seem to dominate you. Know that this is not unique only to you, but it is the experience of every believer. In today's study, we consider a pattern God gives his children for continuously faithful and zealous Christian living. It is the pattern of always remembering what God has done for us and considering what our proper response to his love should be. Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.

In 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, the Bible warns us against partnerships with unbelievers. The passage then goes on to quote statements in the OT where God exhorted the children of Israel to separate themselves from the world in order to be his true people. We often don't consider ourselves idolatrous because we associate idolatry with the worship of pagan gods, especially with the old practice of fashioning images that represented these gods. But what does the Bible define as idolatry and how might Christians' worship be corrupted through idolatrous hearts even today? Consider this question and more in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's word.
