2 Corinthians: The Call to Reconciliation -- David Jeremiah

<p><strong>The cost of being Christ's disciples...</strong></p><p><strong>Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the book of 2 Corinthians in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what </strong><strong>it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to Christians today. </strong></p><p>The apostle Paul founded many churches in the Roman Empire, including one in the prominent city of Corinth. But after personally ministering to them for years, he is saddened to discover that he's being viciously slandered and ridiculed by adversaries who have arrived in the region.</p><p>Paul responds by penning a second letter to them, defending not only his authority as an apostle of Christ but also the truth of the gospel he had so painstakingly modelled in their midst. Paul's words reveal the cost of following Christ--and the ultimate rewards that await those who are faithful to Jesus.</p><p>Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organized to include: </p><ul><li><strong>Getting Started</strong>: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson.</li><li><strong>Setting the Stage</strong>: A short reflection to explain the context of the study.</li><li><strong>Exploring the Text</strong>: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions.</li><li><strong>Reviewing the Story</strong>: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading.</li><li><strong>Applying the Message</strong>: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to thei
