Overview
An expository guide to the book of 2 Corinthians that can be used as a devotional, teaching or preaching resource.

It can be read as a devotional, used for leading small group studies or used for sermon preparation.
Top Highlights
“God gives us three reasons why we do not need to be ashamed, embarrassed or crippled by self-doubt, fear or even shame, but can get on with serving Christ by speaking the gospel, come what may.” (Pages 45–46)
“The word ‘sufficiency’ or ‘adequacy’ is central to Paul’s argument in these opening chapters of 2 Corinthians; for Paul, our qualification as God’s co-workers is based entirely on God himself as the One who makes the inadequate adequate.” (Page 54)
“we love people as Christ did, and we pursue real gospel relationships. Which prompts a very obvious question: do we?” (Page 92)
“Comfort’ in the New Testament includes everything from an arm round the shoulder to a kick in the pants!” (Page 17)
“Paul insists that we need to learn to live before an audience of one. We need to fear God, not people.” (Page 85)
