2 Corinthians 10-13. Amplified Bible. Paul Describes Himself. 10 Now I, Paul, urge you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am meek [so they say] when with you face to face, but bold [outspoken and fearless] toward you when absent! 2 I ask that when I do come I will not be driven to the boldness that I intend to show toward ...
Sep 15, 2021 · Clearly, the Apostle Paul is referencing an identity change that has taken place in the life of these believers. They are no longer sinners, but saints; no longer unrighteous, but righteous. It is a radical change, and one that cannot be undone. We have been given a new identity by God our Father. In His adopting us into the family, He has ...
Paul admits that he does indeed speak a specific kind of wisdom, but his is radically different from the one with which some of the Corinthian Saints have become enamored. His words show us that there is nothing inherently evil about wisdom and using the intellect, but to be proper or correct, it must be guided and informed by the Spirit of God, which the world in general ignores.

Feb 14, 2013 · In the middle of 2 Timothy 4:21 he says, “Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers.”. Here you have Paul greeting Timothy from these folks as though they were his friends, and they hadn’t shown up. But he doesn’t say to them, “I’m not going to greet Timothy from you.

I am going to do something that I have never done before in more than 25 years of preaching. I am going to dedicate this message to a woman who knows far more than I the meaning and the comfort of Paul’s words in our text. I dedicate this message to Kathie Keathley, who from the founding of the Biblical Studies Foundation has been responsible for p...
18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 20 My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed ...
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me; yet I don’t know what I prefer: 23 I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, 24 but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body. Paul’s s...
25 And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that because of me you may swell with pride in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you. Paul did have a dilemma. It was the same dilemma I would face if you asked me whether I would prefer a BMW or a Lexus. ...
First, let me conclude this message by pointing out an application to this text to which Paul would say, “God forbid.” Every truth is capable of being distorted in its application, and the truth of Philippians 1:21 is no exception. To die is to gain, when death is the result of our faith and godliness. The same cannot be said for death at our own h...
According to Acts 20:9–10, Paul brought back to life a young man who had succumbed to sleep as his sermon went long. The young man fell from a window and likely died on impact. Paul, like a ...

Dec 13, 2017 · To live is Christ. To live is to magnify Christ. To live is to show that Christ is magnificent, so watch how he does it. He says, “If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me” (Philippians 1:22). So the first thing he says about living is not Christ, but fruitful labor.
