I was led to 2 Corinthians, chapter 1, verses 6-10.

情態副詞

I didn't start with this text this week, but this is eventually the place where I felt

like the Lord wanted us to spend a little time.

Second Corinthians, chapter 1, verse 6, the apostle Paul writing:

"If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation…"

Everything I go through serves a purpose.

"…and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently

endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

Our hope for you is unshaken, for we  know that as you share in our sufferings,

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers [and sisters], of the affliction we experienced

For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.

Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death.

Even when it got so hard I felt helpless and hopeless.

"That was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God…"

I found my foundation when I went through a shaking so that I would trust him who raises

"He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us."

"On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again."

I want you to give your neighbor my sermon title, but I want you to have a little conversation

Tell them, "Neighbor, it's kind of crazy in the world these days.

Now I want you to answer what they just said to you.

Tell them, "I know, but I'm not nervous."

I saw what your cousin Jimmy said on Facebook about a conspiracy theory."

I refuse to be, not gonna be, not about to be.

God is too great, and he has been too good for me to be nervous.

Paul would like to set the record straight.

There's too much noise and not enough signal.

We are drowning in opinions, and we don't have a drop of truth.

All he ever did was preach Jesus Christ and help them and minister to them.

These other preachers are seizing a political opportunity to run a smear campaign against

poor Paul that the NRA would have been envious of, that the Democratic Party couldn't even

Neither one on the right or the left could do any better than these opponents of Paul

He wants to talk to the church he loves from his heart and set the record straight.

In other words, he wants them to hear it straight from the source.

It does make a difference where you get your information.

It's a strange thing that we live in an age where all information is deemed equal because

it takes up the same amount of space on our timeline.

We don't know whether we're listening to somebody who knows what they're talking about or whether

there is a commercialized interest that is manipulating the information.

It is safe to assume that most of what we are hearing is diluted (watered down) or polluted

It's really hard to even trust what you hear these days.

In much civil turmoil, under oppression, not only political oppression but religious oppression,

he writes back home to the church, and he wants to tell them not what others say about

his situation but to allow them to see the situation and to hear it straight from the

He says in verse 8 (this could be a whole sermon in and of itself), "We do not want

His assumption is that there are some things we think we know that we don't really know

On the screen, it's translated in a more updated version unaware.

It's translated different ways because it's a difficult concept to pin down.

Paul is speaking to a group of people who have heard a lot, but in spite of all the

information they have received, they still know very little about the facts.

In spite of all the access they have, in spite of all the blogs they've read, in spite of

all the 24/7 news stations, what they're hearing isn't very true to reality, because they're

He explains the situation, sourcing it with the reality, because he doesn't want them

However, agnoeo doesn't necessarily mean uninformed.

Rather, it means, more likely, given the Greek shade of meaning, misinformed.

I figured that you would be excited to hear the Word of God, because you have to hear

So let's take a little time and talk about the Word of God.

He said, "It's not that you haven't heard things or that you have not been exposed to

It's just that I'm afraid that what you're hearing and seeing is so far removed from

the source that it is not pure in its essence.

Some things you haven't had the opportunity to learn yet.
