2 Corinthians 12:11-21: Paul seeks not what is yours, but you.

Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI & Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Corinthians 12:11-21. Paul desires to visit the Corinthians a third time and hopes that he will find a repentant and restored church.  He cares and is concerned for them, in the name of Christ, as a father does for his children.  The Corinthian church had many issues (quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder), which all of our churches have, but Paul’s focus was on repentance and cure for their souls in the Gospel. “Lord God, grant us patience as we encounter quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, disorder, and lead us in repentance to Your forgiveness in Christ.  Amen”
