We are in the 5th week of a 6 week sermon series through 2 Corinthians, talking about suffering—everyone’s favorite. Up to now, we have reflected on how we go through our own hardship and where God is in the midst of that. Today, we will see Paul inviting the Corinthians to help him alleviate the suffering of a different church, meaning we get to talk about everyone’s other favorite topic: money. Paul invites us to reflect on all that God has already given to us through Christ who is the cornerstone of our faith and all creation, to invite us to be joined together in serving one another.
