Accepting God's “Yes”  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 1: 18–22
Summary: Jesus upset the religious leaders of his day by granting forgiveness of sins to a paralyzed man. But Jesus has that power. For us, accepting God’s forgiveness through Jesus means that our mistakes and wrongdoing will never be held against us or interfere in our relationship with Jesus. Forgiveness comes first, then healing.

Blinded to the Light  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 4: 3–6
Summary:  Our calling, as those who go out into the world in the name of Jesus Christ, is to become “slaves” to all — but not just slaves at everyone’s beck and call. Rather it is to be slaves who will do whatever it takes to present the love of God in Jesus Christ to all who will receive it. In doing this, we will meet with opposition from those for whom this gospel has been veiled. Our call is to reach out to those who oppose it as well.

Intimations of Immortality1  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 4: 13–5-1
Summary: 

The apostle Paul is surprisingly candid about death, and the subject pops up frequently in his letters, including this passage to the church at Corinth. He explains his positive attitude toward death by offering a series of contrasts in which the unseen, eternal, incorporeal and immortal aspects of our future existence far outweigh the seen, momentary, corporeal and mortal nature of our brief existence on earth.

A Most Extraordinary Ordinary Time  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 5: 6–10
Summary: We are confident that we have access to something greater than the body, in this life, even though the body and physical reality are really all we can see and really know, because “… we walk by faith, not by sight.” Faith is a walk, not just something we claim to see. We claim life beyond physical reality by way of how we walk while in the body.

2 Corinthians 5: 20–6:2 for LFM
Summary: Ash Wednesday is a day to consider the finitude of our lives, but also to consider how we may wish to conduct ourselves for the future. As a moment to pause and reflect on our lives, Ash Wednesday is primarily about living in the present moment, not chiefly about concern for the future or about anxiety over death. There is power in keeping ourselves oriented toward the present, and something innately hopeful about having an opportunity to adjust our lives.

Pay It Forward  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 8: 7–15
Summary: Giving, at its heart, is more a spiritual matter than a budget matter. It is never a quid pro quo. It is neither a payment for blessings received nor a bribe for blessings hoped for. But it does have to do with gratitude for the faith handed down, for salvation given, for Gospel joy, for confidence that God’s way is best. It can’t be paid back, and isn’t expected to be, but it can and should be paid forward.

Strength out of Weakness  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 12: 7–10
Summary: Few Christians have suffered the troubles and suffering that St. Paul had to endure. But he discovered that God’s grace would sustain him. He found great strength through a deep and sincere prayer life. He was in such union with Christ that even in his times of great woe, he found strength. What was true for Paul can be true for us as well

God for Everyone  Click here Click title to view sermon 2 Corinthians 13: 11–13
Summary: The Trinity is based on the belief that the one God is revealed in three distinct persons. While that concept and belief is not an easy one to grasp, the fact is that God meets us and teaches us and helps us in many ways. God appears in different ways at different times to draw us to salvation and to godly living. The Trinity is a way to explain that God is for everyone.
