Palmer St. Podcast: 2 Corinthians 9

Giving is a much abused and, therefore, often misunderstood aspect of the Christian life. The Bible clearly tells us we should give, but so do a lot of con artists who pretend to be servants of Christ. We need to avoid being taken in by charlatans, but we don’t do this by ignoring what God really wants us to know about giving as part of the practice of our faith. Along with chapter 8, which we did a couple of weeks back, this chapter is one of the more important chapters that teach us how and why to give.

Palmer St. Podcast: 2 Corinthians 8

Financial giving has been a part of what the church has done since the very beginning, part of a tradition that goes back to Judaism.  What does the Bible really say about generosity, giving or charity?  This chapter and the next give us some of the basic principles that make up a right attitude toward this essential, yet much abused, part of the Christian faith.

Palmer St. Podcast: 2 Corinthians 6

We come to Christ from a variety of backgrounds. When Jesus enters the picture, He needs to be allowed to take over so completely that our primary identity is formed by Christ, our relationship with Him and the others who form His body here on earth. Paul warns us in this chapter not to be “unequally yoked” or tied to the non-Christian world so tightly that our loyalties become divided.
