Series: Rooted Together - Experiencing Community in Christ

Open Mouths; Wide Open Hearts

November 09, 2025 | Lynette Sanchez

Following Paul's urgent appeal to be reconciled to God in the previous chapter, Paul now lays all his cards on the table and implores the Corinthians to be reconciled with him. He shows how restored relationship with God is essentially tied to our relationships with others. This is not an individualistic faith, but a call to be drawn together in community, unified by Christ.

Series Information

Second Corinthians bears witness to the authentic community between the Apostle Paul and the church in Corinth and it isn’t always pretty. There are tense moments, past hurts, and challenges for continued growth. It is also undeniable how much Paul loves and cares for this community and wants to see them rooted together as believers focused on Christ. From his own trials and troubles, Paul shows how in our weakness, God’s strength, power, comfort, and hope are on full display. As we study this letter together, we are called to actively take part in the community God has brought together here and now at Countryside.
