Examine Yourselves

In today’s broadcast, we share a portion of Ben Winslett’s final message from 2 Corinthians, in which he considers Paul’s exhortation for the saints in Corinth to examine themselves, whether or not they be in THE faith. Of all the issues he challenged them with over the course of two weighty letters, he leaves off with this relevant exhortation for all of us. Are we in the faith?

Weakness and Strength

As Americans, we value strength and shame weakness. We want a strong economy, a strong military, and a strong currency. And it is very common for men and women to frequent the gym to maintain their personal strength. But in 2 Corinthians 12, we find something else being celebrated: weakness. Why? Because as followers of Christ, when we concede our weakness and trust God for strength, the power of Christ rests upon us!

Finding Purpose in a Thorn

Afflictions are a sad part of reality in this sin cursed earth. However, there are things we can learn in the midst of trials. For one, we can grow in humility, as afflictions can humble us. But also, we can experience the power of Christ, as His strength is made perfect in weakness!

Join us for this message from 2 Corinthians 12 about God’s strength being made perfect in our weakness.

A Cheerful Giver

One of the most necessary subjects to address in the Bible is that of giving. Why? First, finances are an inescapable part of the church and Christian living (as well as life on Earth). But also, because it’s a subject in which many depart from the biblical model, both in terms of teaching and giving. Join us for this message on the Cheerful Giver.

This Ministry

Sharing a recent exposition of 2 Corinthians 4 from the pulpit of Flint River, Ben Winslett speaks to several aspects of the ministry. First, the singularity of it. There is but one gospel ministry. Secondly, ministers commend themselves to the consciences of their hearers. Lastly, the condition of the heart affects the reception of the gospel! Join us for this informative message from Paul’s second epistle to the church at Corinth.

Yea and Amen

In today’s episode of Words of Grace, we share a recent message from the pulpit of Flint River. Our passage under consideration is the latter part of 2 Corinthians chapter 1, specifically verses 15-22. On the surface, much of this might be random language or pleasantries, but there’s actually a significant point Paul makes here regarding hindered plans and even the words of scorners, but also the fact that there are some promises that cannot ever be broken!

Prayer Works!

Folks often mock people who pray for others on social media. It’s become a trendy thing to do, mocking “thoughts and prayers” when a tragedy happens. But Paul actually said the Corinthian believers “also helped together by prayer for us” when he and his fellow laborers were in affliction (2 Cor 1:11). So Christian, prayer does actually help others. Join us for today’s broadcast to learn more!
