In this episode we’ll talk about 2 Corinthians 8-13. We’ll begin by talking about how there were groups of impoverished saints at that time, and Paul encouraged those who could to help as needed. Paul taught them to not only have good thoughts towards others, but to follow those thoughts with action. Sometimes, in our journey for emotional and spiritual improvement, we have great intentions but don’t follow up with actual change. Paul teaches how we can do this. We’ll also discuss the “thorn” Paul referred to, and how despite his prayers, the Lord did not remove it. We’ll review how challenges can help us grow, and how we need to have faith in the Lord’s plans for us.
