Frank Guglielmo – 2 Corinthians 1:12-15
There is no perfect church.
People will always divide.
In Christ we are all children of God.
We can still rejoice in one another.
As Jesus says, the gates of hell shall not prevail!
Are we rejoicing in Christ and with one another?

2 Corinthians 1:3-11, Psalm 103:8-11, 2 Peter 3:9
Following Christ in this world will bring you suffering. In the midst of the suffering there is comfort in Jesus.
He is able to succour us throughout the suffering as we grow in Him through it.
The Holy Spirit within us is called the comforter and just like Christ is comforting us trough tribulation, with this comfort we can comfort others. Jesus said, ” in the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; i have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Keep following Christ with Him near you as your comforter!

Grace and peace is the blessing of the second letter to the Corinthians. Paul needed Timothy to help his work. What about us? We are called to commit our lives to do the work of God. You need to be a member of a church and serve God together!
Every person in the church is needed, can we be trusted to represent the ministry of our church?
With grace supplied from God, you can do the work!

The twelve Apostles were chosen, named and sent out by Jesus with the power given to them to heal and perform miracles.
Paul too was called by Jesus to be an apostle to the Gentiles. (Acts 9:15)
The apostles went forth in faith, trusting Jesus, taking nothing with them, to spread His Word. They did exactly what Jesus asked of them.
Be ready to be called by God, trust in him and move, working for Him!
Learn from the apostles, do we go where the Lord leads us? Live for Jesus!
