Pastor Tom Ascol finishes his series on 2 Corinthians covering Chapter 13 in a message entitled “Final Warnings, Exhortations, and Encouragements.” Paul’s pointed and personal words here to a troubled church, the result of his deep love for the Corinthians, remain applicable to the church today.

Tom Ascol | The Greatest Boast of a Faithful Apostle - 2 Corinthians 12:1-21
Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on 2 Corinthians. In a message entitled “The Greatest Boast of a Faithful Apostle” the pastor opens God’s Word at 2 Corinthians 12:1 – 21. Paul uses this chapter to continue finish writing, however self-consciously, about himself and then transitions into one of the most important lessons a Christian can learn.

Tom Ascol | Apostolic Boasting - 2 Corinthians 11:1-33
Pastor Tom Ascol continuing in his series on 2 Corinthians opens God’s Word in Chapter 11:1 – 33 with a message entitled “Apostolic Boasting.” In an ancient document called “The Deeds of the Divine Augustus,” the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus boasted about many of his accomplishments. He fell, just as the false teachers in today’s passage fell, to the temptation to promote themselves usually at the expense of others but, more importantly, at the expense of the glory due God.

Tom Ascol | Concerns of a Faithful Ministry - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18
Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on 2 Corinthians. In a message entitled “Concerns of a Faithful Ministry,” the pastor opens God’s Word at 2 Corinthians 10:1 – 18. Nehemiah provides an example of a faithful ministry. Called by God from the center of the cultural world, he was sent to rebuild the city of Jerusalem’s walls. Nehemiah faithfully opposed enemies and built up the congregation all for the glory of God. Such should be the ministry of a faithful believer. So it was with Paul.

Tom Ascol | Biblical Giving - 2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15
Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on 2 Corinthians. In a message entitled “Biblical Giving,” he exposits 2 Corinthians 8:1 through 9:15. Everyone seems to know of examples where churches appear to be focused on “passing the basket” for collections but in this passage God’s mind on giving is plainly evident.

Tom Ascol | How God Comforts His Depressed Servants - 2 Corinthians 7:2-16
Pastor Tom Ascol continues his series on 2 Corinthians with a message entitled “How God Comforts His Depressed Servants” centered on 2 Corinthians 7: 2 – 16. Many people have been oppressed by depression over the years. Christians are not immune from this scourge, yet hesitate to admit it. Their thinking is, if a person is forgiven and welcomed into the family of God, “about what should they be depressed.” Even so, depression is a reality and today’s passage looks at how the Apostle Paul overcame depression in his life and ministry.

Tom Ascol | Who Shares Your Yoke? - 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Pastor Tom Ascol continues in his series in 2 Corinthians with a message entitled “Who Shares Your Yoke?” centering on 2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1. In today’s passage Paul uses the metaphor of a yoke, the apparatus farmers use to join animals used for plowing, to teach principles for the Christian life. Just as different breeds of animals do not work well when yoked, so Christians must be careful about ties that bind them to the world.

Tom Ascol | Ministry That Endures - 2 Corinthians 6:3-13
Pastor Tom Ascol continues in his exposition of 2 Corinthians, opening Chapter 6, verses 3 through 13, in a message entitled “Ministry that Endures.” Throughout this letter to the Corinthians the apostle Paul makes the point that a ministry true to the Gospel and God will endure. That ministry cannot be measured truthfully by appearances of success or prosperity. Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ usually results in opposition, hardships, and trials. This result in the lives of believers accurately reflects the reality of Jesus’ suffering.
