Study 2 Corinthians: 28 Lessons From Paul's Most Personal Letter
On Paul’s second missionary journey, he visited Corinth and established the church there (Acts 18). Corinth was a prosperous trade hub on an isthmus of Greece which connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the mainland.
It was also a decadent city. Corinth was home to the temple of Aphrodite, a Greek goddess of love. The city was extremely immoral to the point that being called a “Corinthian” took on the meaning of being an immoral person.
Into this corrupt culture, Paul took the gospel. Many believed and a church started. Paul spent 18 months there before leaving. But the church struggled. Immorality and sin crept in. 1 Corinthians was written by Paul to rebuke the church.
2 Corinthians is a much friendlier and very personal letter. Paul defends his apostolic credentials and his personal love and care for the Corinthians as he continues to restore his relationship with them. He also details much of the suffering he faced for Christ and for them, motivating them to stand strong. Other important themes include giving, endurance in afflictions, rejecting false apostles, and holiness.
This practical book study will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Paul and his motivations. We hope that the lessons learned can transform your life and your walk with the Lord.
