Pastor Rob continues our study in 2nd Corinthians: It is not education, but transformation that qualifies us for ministry. Christ has made us sufficient for being ministers of the gospel.

As we start a study through the minor prophets, Pastor Rob introduces the way these books flow together thematically and makes a case for studying them together. The same theme flows through these books as a whole that is highlighted in all of the prophets.

In 2 Corinthians 2:1–11, Pastor Garret invites us to walk the hard road of forgiveness and reconciliation; from confrontation to compassion, from discipline to restoration, and from sorrow to joy. When the gospel shapes our tears, they lead us to truth, and truth leads us to triumph through forgiveness that reflects the heart of Christ.

In this short section of Colossians, Paul is calling believers to a posture that reflects the supremacy of Christ through devoted prayer, spiritual alertness, grateful hearts, missional boldness, wise conduct, and gracious speech—making the gospel visible in everyday life.

Pastor Garret walks us through 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 with a lesson titled, "Sealed by the Spirit, Shaped by the Cross." Because God has established, anointed, and sealed us with His Spirit as a guarantee, our identity rests on His unchanging “Yes” in Christ, not on human opinion. Therefore, we can walk with clear consciences, patient timing, and tear-stained love, refusing control and embracing the cruciform way of Jesus.

When the storms hit, the foundation of your life is revealed, and only Christ can withstand the pressure that exposes it. Are we following Jesus to rebuild our marriages, families, and work from the inside out, forming homes that stand because they rest on Him?

In a world full of wounds, God meets us with a comfort strong enough to hold us and gentle enough to heal us.

Colossians 3 confronts us with a piercing question: are we living from our old self, or wearing the resurrection life Christ has given to us? Join Pastor Garret as he leads us through Colossians 3:12-17.
