Have you ever felt agitated without cause, discouraged without reason, or tempted beyond usual? Have you ever had senseless bickering with your spouse, or weird misunderstandings with a friend? These can be examples of spiritual attacks that we all go through. There are spiritual forces of evil at war with spiritual forces of good over us in the unseen realm, which is just as real as the material, physical world in which we live even though we often are unaware of the battle we are in. Today, Pastor Gary teaches about the weapons of our warfare that are available for us to fight these battles.
Did you know that giving is one of the Christian disciplines like faith, speech, knowledge, diligence, and love for others? That's exactly what Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 8:7. The Bible has more than 2,300 verses about money and material things. Jesus spoke more about money than He spoke about faith and prayer combined. In today's study, Pastor Gary shares five principles of generous giving from 2 Corinthians 8–9.

There are a lot of misconceptions on the subject of angels. Many picture them as little chubby cherubs playing their harps in the clouds, but that could not be further from the truth. The Bible has a lot to say about this supporting cast of characters and their role in human affairs. In today's study, Pastor Austin addresses questions such as, “What are angels?” “What do angels look like?” “What do they do?” “Do they have bodies?” “Are there different kinds and ranks of angels?” and many more.
We can commonly fall into discouragement when in seasons of suffering, but the apostle Paul pens this letter to the Philippians to reshape the Believer's perspective. Join us as Pastor Austin unpacks five timely principles from Philippians 1, helping us find a new perspective in the middle of pain.
Have you ever had a conflict with someone? Have you ever battled fears? Of course you have! Everyone has. In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul admits to “outside conflicts and inside fears.” He dealt with physical distress on the outside from those who were opposed to him or his message, and he also battled emotional distress from fears within. Pastor Gary addresses these common issues that we all struggle with today in a teaching from 2 Corinthians 7.
The Bible encourages us to befriend unbelievers so that they might hear about Jesus and see Him in our lives, but the Bible also discourages us from forming partnerships, unions, or bonds with unbelievers. Paul warns us about this for two reasons: incompatibility and influence. Christians and non-Christians have different views, values, standards, and perspectives that will cause friction and strife within a partnership or union. In addition, the nonbeliever has the potential to influence the Believer in ways that might compromise him or her. Pastor Gary helps us to understand the wisdom of this passage in relation to dating, marriage, business relationships, and legally binding arrangements.

There are four blessings Paul says that every Believer has received in Christ, four things that should motivate us to maintain unity within the family of God. What are these four things? Join Pastor Austin as he unpacks God's four blessings for every Believer.
God's grace is His unmerited, undeserved favor toward us. We are the recipients of God's grace in various forms. Someone once defined “GRACE” with the acronym: God's Riches At Christ's Expense. In 2 Corinthians 6:1, Paul warns us that it's possible to receive God's grace “in vain.” In other words, we can treat God's grace with disgrace or contempt by how we behave. In today's study, Pastor Gary warns us about the five ways we can receive God's grace in vain.
The word “reconciliation” means “to restore harmony.” We typically use the word in regard to either accounting practices (reconciling financial statements) or, more commonly, in regard to relationships. Whenever a friendship or marriage becomes strained or broken, but then an effort is made to repair the relationship, we say there has been “reconciliation.” Paul used this word to describe God's pursuit of us in repairing our broken relationship with Him. Jesus died on the cross to bring us to God in the ultimate reconciliation!
The Bible tells us that there are three occasions of judgment from God. Which one you will face depends on who you are and what you have done (or not done), but the Bible says “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). The three Judgments to come are (1) The Judgment of the Sheep and Goats (also called The Judgment of the Nations), (2) The Great White Throne Judgment, and (3) The Judgment Seat of Christ. In today's teaching, Pastor Gary breaks down the differences between these three judgments and helps us to be prepared for the one we will each have to face.

It's always important to keep an “eternal perspective” in life. As Christ-followers, we must remember that this life is only temporary. We are only passing through. Our ultimate reward is heaven, where we will trade our earthly bodies for glorified ones, our present sufferings for future glory, and our earthly dwellings for a heavenly home! In today's study, Pastor Gary takes us through these topics that Paul writes about in 2 Corinthians 4–5.
There is a lot of metaphorical language in the Bible about “light” and “darkness.” Paul uses that language in 2 Corinthians 4 to describe the Gospel of Christ as light that came to shine in a dark world. Jesus even said about Himself, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). But why is it that some people don't want to come into the light? In today's study, Pastor Gary shares four reasons why some people are reluctant to step into the light, and what we can do to help them.

In 2 Corinthians 2:14–17, Paul compares our life in Christ to a Roman victory parade honoring a general after a successful military campaign. Such a parade in the first century A.D. would have included priests carrying censors with burning spices to fill the streets with a wonderful fragrance. In this analogy, Paul says Jesus is our general who leads us in triumphal procession, and we are like the ones spreading the fragrance of Him everywhere we go. It's a reminder that not only is Jesus our Conquering King, but we are to spread the knowledge of Him everywhere we go! Are you spreading the fragrance of Christ? Join us as Pastor Gary shares from 2 Corinthians.

God brought forth His Son, Jesus Christ, “in the fullness of time” the Bible says in Galatians 4:4-5.
