II Corinthians 8:20

Each reading in this 5-part devotional will invite you into Everett Swanson’s journey, from his young faith in Jesus to the founding of an organization that would eventually impact the lives of more than 2 million children.

2 Corinthians has a lot to say about your vocation. While this 7-day plan will by no means be an exhaustive study of Paul’s second letter, I’m confident that the seven passages we study will fuel hope and obedience in your work!

In his second letter to the church at Corinth, Paul encourages believers to live in the identity Christ has provided for them. Although as fragile and mundane as jars of clay, God’s people hold the inestimable treasure of the gospel in their lives (2 Corinthians 4:7). 2 Corinthians reminds us that we are ambassadors for Christ, tasked with showing and sharing God’s good news of reconciliation for all who believe (2 Corinthians 5:20).

This reading plan explores the background to Paul's letters to the Corinthians, examines the structure and content of First and Second Corinthians, and reveals his eschatology.
