Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the New Testament book of 2 Corinthians, Chapter Four.
How is Satan god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4)? Is Satan in control of what happens on earth?
An encouraging gospel ministry is not outwardly impressive but marked by perseverance in the transforming proclamation of Jesus amid suffering.
Sermon preached at ROCK City Church Melbourne by Pastor Ferdinand Haratua
In today's episode: What does it mean to "deny yourself" and follow Jesus? Do Christians expect people to not have nice things? What is the "Christian Poverty" movement, and is it biblical? Why Paul calls his sufferings "light" The difference between "forever" and "eternity" Need more? I don't blame you!

Why does Paul do what he does? If it's not approval of the Corinthians, or his own preferences, then what exactly is it?
Paul discusses why Christians don't give up on the Gospel message: God gives mercy and love The Gospel is the truth 4 things Christians MUST do after they are saved Christianity is not the gospel of self Why Satan is called a "god" Need more?

Change is slow. Suffering is normal. Through it all, God's desire is to renew his people "day by day." But experiencing God's daily renewal requires some things. In this sermon, we explore the truth that renewal requires resilience: a resilient source and a resilient hope.

In this teaching, we dive into 2 Corinthians 4 with a message titled "A Hope That Does Not Lose Heart." Together, we explore what it means to have biblical hope, a steadfast assurance rooted in God's faithfulness, His Word, and the person and work of Jesus Christ. Despite the trials and sufferings we face, this hope enables us to remain unshaken and steadfast. Through Paul's words, we see how suffering, though difficult, is purposeful. It refines us, builds endurance, character, and hope, and prepares us for an eternal glory beyond comparison. Discover how to navigate challenges with unwavering confidence in God's promises and learn how to keep your eyes on the eternal rather than the temporary. Key Points Discussed: The definition of biblical hope – confidence grounded in God's faithfulness. How suffering produces lasting spiritual growth. Why we don't lose heart in trials, focusing on the eternal glory ahead. The ministry, power, and perspective God calls us to in light of His hope.
A message about the nature of the ministry of God's Word in the era between the first and second coming of Christ. Specifically, it helps us discern who God has called and anointed for this work and what we should expect when this mission becomes our own.
Grace, Gratitude, and the Glory of God in 2025 (2 Corinthians 4:15) - Morning Sermon
2 Corinthians 4:1-12Rev. Matt Rice
Hope Ahead | Eternity Gives Us Hope for Tomorrow | Pastor Cody Podor
Listen along as we wrap up our final gathering of 2024. Notes//Quotes: 2 Cor 4:7-18 Just as wine cannot keep well in silver or gold vessels, but only in the lowliest of vessels—earthen ones—so words of Torah do not keep well in one who considers himself to be the same as silver or gold vessels, but only in one who considers himself the same as the lowliest of vessels—earthen ones. - Rabbinical Commentary on Torah The Stoic philosopher—and still more the Cynic—prided himself on his indifference to physical and mental suffering, and would often give a recital of what he had been through in order to demonstrate the power of the philosophy to make one able to rise above such purely external and short-term vicissitudes. - David Garland “Epictetus believed that difficulties (peristaseis) “show what men are.” What they endured exhibited their true grit and moral constancy. For Paul hardships do not disclose what humans are made of but what God's power is like” - David Garland “While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life's joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world's sorrows, tasting the coming joy. Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.” - Tim Keller
What if a slower, more intentional life could unlock a deeper spiritual connection and enrich your relationships? Join me, Jesse Cope, as we explore the transformative power of faith and meaningful connections on the American Soul Podcast. Reflecting on the steadfastness of faith amidst adversity, we discuss the scriptural insights from 2 Corinthians 4 and Romans 10:9, urging a commitment to daily practices of prayer, Bible reading, and gratitude. Together, we challenge the notion that perpetual busyness benefits our lives or our children, advocating instead for prioritizing what truly matters—our relationship with God and our loved ones. Embrace this journey of reshaping life to serve a higher purpose and cherish those closest to you.As we revisit the historical significance of Harry S. Truman's 1947 Christmas Eve address, discover how his message of compassion and hope in a post-war America continues to resonate today. By examining the parallels between his call for enduring faith and the timeless Christmas narrative, we reflect on the fallibility of human endeavors and the pursuit of perfection through understanding and belief. Together, let's draw inspiration from the unerring star that guided the wise men to Bethlehem, reinforcing the eternal principles of faith in God and Jesus Christ. Immerse yourself in this thoughtful exploration of history and spirituality, and find renewed strength in these enduring values.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

2 Corinthians 4:6-7New Living Translation6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with Permission.

Though self-preservation is a prominent characteristic of this age, the apostle Paul took his cue from the Lord Jesus and was willing to suffer that others might live. Motivated by the faithfulness of Jesus, he was committed to the dying process of the Christ-centred life with the result that he truly lived. This is God's call to everyone whom he saves. The rejection of a life stunted by self-preservation requires four things: 1. Be willing to speak up (v. 13) 2. Know that you will be raised up (v. 14) 3. Long for praise to be offered up (v. 15) 4. Learn to look up (vv. 16–18)
We live in a world marked by discord, alienation, conflict, and war, with seemingly little hope that things will change. But Christians know that, because of who God is, things are not always as they appear and, in fact, a new day has dawned. This is Paul's burden in 2 Corinthians 4:1–6, which we must appreciate and believe today.
In our reading of Acts 20, Fr. Mike reflects on the healing of Eutychus, Paul's willingness to suffer for the sake of the Gospel, and Paul's tender affection for the people he ministered to. In 2 Corinthians, Fr. Mike also highlights Paul's encouragement to hold onto the hope of beholding the glory of God with unveiled faces and to persevere in our afflictions as they prepare for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. Today's readings are Acts 20, 2 Corinthians 3-5, and Proverbs 28:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

A major theme in 2 Corinthians is God's strength revealed in our weakness. The passage before us powerfully makes this point and, in so doing, provides the Christian with wonderful encouragement as we engage in gospel ministry. The passage divides into at least four main points: 1. Powerless Pots (v. 7) 2. Powerful Paradoxes (vv. 8–9) 3. Powerful Perspective (vv. 10–11) 4. Powerful Partnership (v. 12)
