Meeting Paul Again: 2 Corinthians

Our “Meeting Paul Again” series is exploring the story and teachings of the historical Paul, in his own words. This week we continued the journey through his authentic letters by turning our focus to 2 Corinthians. This letter is likely a combination of three or four smaller letters and gives us a further glimpse into the conflict between Paul and the Corinthians. Two key areas of focus in this sermon were Paul’s line in chapter five about “walking by faith and not by sight,” a statement that has been used to manipulate and shame people with questions and doubts, and we will explore what Paul means by “New Creation.”
