2 Corinthians – Strength in Weakness

🌿 Introduction

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness…” – 2 Corinthians 12:9

2 Corinthians is Paul’s most vulnerable and personal letter. Written to the church at Corinth, it’s a passionate defense of his ministry, an encouragement to forgive, and a testimony of God’s power made perfect in trials. Paul shares not only his theology but his heart—his burdens, fears, and hopes.

This book dives deep into what it means to serve God through suffering, to find glory in affliction, and to walk in spiritual victory even when life feels like defeat. Paul’s love for the Corinthians shines through every word as he calls them to true repentance, generosity, and faith.
