The message of Jesus and the Cross is a big enough stumbling block already without Paul causing an offence by the way he conducted his ministry. He also discusses picking a partner compatible with our call.

2 Corinthians 2: Painful Leadership Conversations

The nature of leadership is taking people to a place where they are yet to be. This can sometimes require painful leadership conversations. The pain of not having the conversation may be that the church, family or company we love starts to slide, but sometimes having the conversation may lead to sorrow, too.

It seems there has been a slip in Paul's relationship with the church in Corinth after an extended period of his absence. Paul is writing as a reminder of what they have enjoyed together and rebuild the trust which has been lost.
