Title: “Playing Hurt”
Scripture: 2 Cor. 11:22-30
Date: 10-30-16 Sun. AM
Description: The sports world is full of athletes who played hurt and overcome great odds and obstacles. Christians need to learn to “play hurt” in the Christian life. It is amazing how easy it is for Christians to give up and quit. The Apostle Paul suffered much for Christ during his ministry. He did not want to boast of his sufferings, but the Corinthian believers’ acceptance of the false apostles made it impossible for him not to do so.

Scripture: 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1
Date: 8-14-16 Sun. AM

Title: “Seeing the Unseen”
Scripture: 2 Cor. 4:16-18
Date: 7-3-16 Sun. AM
Description: The question of human suffering is a complex issue. Those who are able to cope with life’s difficulties are those who learn to endure and not give up. All Christians can learn from Paul’s example how to endure these difficulties. Because we have this ministry and we have this treasure in earthen vessels and knowing we have the hope of resurrection, we don’t lose heart and give up.

Scripture: 2 Cor. 4:1-6
Date: 6-12-16 Sun. AM
