Building Up in Christ: A Study on Obedience and Authority

Line by Line - with Pastor Josh Hawkins

In this Bible study, we delve into the profound words of Paul in 2 Corinthians. Despite the stern tone, Paul's message is one of love and correction. He emphasizes the importance of obedience and the consequences of disobedience, aiming to guide the church towards God's love and away from destructive patterns. Through his letters, Paul asserts his authority, not to tear down but to build up the believers. He challenges worldly perspectives, urging them to see beyond appearances and focus on Christ within. This study explores the balance between boasting in service to God and seeking approval from Him rather than from human standards. Join us as we reflect on Paul's teachings, understanding that true authority comes from God and that our ultimate boast should be in the Lord.
