Study 2 Corinthians: 28 Lessons From Paul's Most Personal Letter (Study and Obey)

2 Corinthians: A Practical Bible Study on Suffering, Faith, and Generosity

Whether you are leading a small group or studying on your own, this practical guide through 2 Corinthians will help you understand God’s Word and apply it to your life.

While 1 Corinthians was written as a rebuke, 2 Corinthians is friendly and open. It is Paul’s most personal letter. In it, he opens his heart to the church at Corinth and shares about his suffering, joys, burdens, and ministry struggles. Paul defended his ministry against false teachers while continually pointing believers back to Christ.

Corinth was an immoral city where the temple of Aphrodite was located. To be called a Corinthian was an insult aimed at those who were immoral. The church still struggled with division, sin, false teaching, and discouragement. Yet through this broken situation, Paul taught timeless truths which still touch our lives today.
