In this message, Skip explains how Paul teaches the Corinthians that true Christian generosity flows from  grace , not guilt, pressure, or obligation. Using the example of the Macedonian churches, Paul shows that real giving is joyful, sacrificial, and rooted in the generosity of Jesus Himself. Skip contrasts this biblical vision with modern distortions—especially prosperity‑style teaching that tr...

This message Ben looks at Paul’s call for believers to live lives set apart for God, refusing to be “yoked together” with influences, relationships, or patterns that pull them away from Christ. Paul urges the Corinthians to pursue holiness, integrity, and wholehearted devotion, reminding them that they belong to God as His temple and should therefore live in a way that reflects His presence. Preac...

In this message, Ben explains Paul’s powerful vision of what it means to be a Christian: someone made new in Christ, reconciled to God, and sent into the world as His ambassador. The passage shows that the gospel transforms identity, purpose, and mission — moving believers from spiritual death to new creation life, and commissioning them to carry God’s message of reconciliation to others. Preacher...

This message explores Paul’s powerful imagery of believers as  fragile jars of clay  carrying the priceless treasure of the gospel. Paul teaches that weakness is not a flaw in God’s design but the very means through which His power is displayed. The passage calls Christians to persevere through suffering, fix their eyes on eternity, and live by faith rather than sight. Preacher Olu: Subscribe to o...

In this message, Ben explains Paul’s contrast between the old covenant, which brought condemnation and a veiled understanding of God, and the new covenant, which brings freedom, transformation, and the unveiled glory of Christ. Paul shows that the gospel reveals God’s glory in a way the law never could, and that believers—now with unveiled faces—reflect that glory to the world. Preacher Ben Read:...

In this message, Ben explains Paul’s imagery of Christians as the “aroma of Christ” in the world — people whose lives carry the fragrance of Jesus wherever they go. Paul shows that God leads believers in Christ’s victory procession, transforming them from former enemies into joyful participants in His mission. This aroma brings life to some and exposes death to others, reminding the church that go...

This message explores Paul’s deep pastoral heart for the Corinthians and his awareness of how easily Satan can exploit relational tension, misunderstanding, and unforgiveness within the church. Paul explains why he changed his travel plans, defends the sincerity of his ministry, and urges the church to forgive and restore a repentant brother — all to prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold. Prea...
