We turn to 2 Corinthians 4:7 and Paul is still talking about how to keep from fainting. People faint in ministry. They're faint yet pursuing sometimes, but oh, the fainting that goes on in serving the Lord. It's not easy to serve the Lord, and there are battles going on. 2 Corinthians 4:1, …

Let's talk about living confidently, living optimistically, living joyfully—not because of our feelings or our circumstances, but really in spite of them. 2 Corinthians 5:6-10, Paul talks about confident Christian living: "Therefore, we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the …

Have you ever fainted? I can remember only once in my lifetime fainting. It’s a terrible experience. You’re so helpless and you know something’s happening, you can do nothing about it, and there you go until they pull you out of it again. Well, in 2 Corinthians 4, Paul talks about fainting, but …

2 Corinthians 3:1 is one of the most important chapters in the book. Remember now, in the first seven chapters of 2 Corinthians, Paul is explaining his ministry.

Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go. Abraham did not know that song, but he could have sung it. Hebrews 11:8 reads: "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went." Not everything …

We are looking at Hebrews 11:8-19, the fourfold obedience by faith of this great man Abraham. Abraham obeyed by faith when he did not understand where, Hebrews 11:8-10. He went out, not knowing where he went. And then Abraham obeyed by faith when he did not understand how, Hebrews 11:11-12, the …
