Join us as we look at Peter's encouragement of believers who are enduring suffering. You'll see that "God has you, he’s always had you, and he’s not about ready to lose you." This should lead you to keep our eyes fixed on eternal things, produce joy in you, and move you to worship the Lord.

This week, we explore how Psalm 34 describes who God is and what God does, focusing on God protecting and saving his people.

In Psalm 16, we see some of the attributes of God and some of the works of God. This should lead us to specific responses.

We close our our series in 2 Corinthians in chapter 13 as Paul exhorts them and us to examine ourselves and move toward full maturity based on our relationship with the triune God.

In 2 Corinthians chapters 10-12, we see Paul's concern for the Corinthian church. His concern moves him to defend his ministry against opposition. As he does this, he demonstrates his trust in God.

This week, we take a break from 2 Corinthians and spend some time in the Psalms. We explore what an acceptable life looks like in Psalm 19.

Part 2 of our look at 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, we follow last week's exploration of why we should give by looking this week at how we should give.

Question

What happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?

Answer

At the day of judgment they will receive the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against them. They will be cast out from the favorable presence of God, into hell, to be justly and grievously punished, forever.

Why should we give? This week in 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, we explore the reasons and motivations for being a giving people.

Question

Are all people, just as they were lost through Adam, saved through Christ?

Answer

No, only those who are elected by God and united to Christ by faith. Nevertheless God in his mercy demonstrates common grace even to those who are not elect, by restraining the effects of sin and enabling works of culture for human well-being.
