Substance Overall‚ it is this author’s opinion that Anyabwile was successful in providing a clear exposition of 2 Corinthians 12:5-10. However‚ this author was unsure of Anyabwile’s primary theme. At the beginning of the sermon‚ Anyabwile’s focus was on proper boasting in the Lord. In the middle of the sermon‚ the emphasis shifted to the dangers of pride‚ and at the conclusion of the sermon‚ the focus of attention was placed on God’s power and how God’s power is perfected in the Christian’s weakness

Death entered the creation through the sin of the first man: “For since by a man came death‚ by a man also came the Resurrection of the dead.

In Corinthians 15:13-14‚ Paul the Apostle says “If there is no resurrection of the dead‚ then not even Christ has been raised.

My bible passage was 2 Corinthians‚ verses 11.1 through 15. Before doing more in depth research on this passage‚ I thought the clear message was that Paul was okay with boasting to the apostles‚ because he had done many things to prove himself to the apostles. However‚ after reading my passage thoroughly and doing much more research‚ I have come to the conclusion that 2 Corinthians 11.1-15 is only fully clear when one takes into account the hardships Paul has been through‚ and how humble he is despite

We are all given different spiritual gifts so that we can work together as one group in Christ‚ and thus further His kingdom here on Earth: a.

Introduction: This Research Paper will discuss the passage 1 Corinthians: 1-9. This passage discusses the idea of sex before and after marriage‚ the reasons why one should marry. Paul‚ the apostle who wrote the letter‚ also touches the topic of celibacy and how it is something that is only meant to for a few people. My belief is that many people were confused on if they could have multiple sex partners or if they were supposed to live a celibate life. Text: Now concerning the matters about which
