In this program, we witness the heart of Paul the pastor—tested by suffering, danger, rejection, and relentless hardship, yet still filled with deep concern for the church. His letters to the Corinthians reveal not only the burdens he carried, but also the steadfast love that would not let go. Through beatings, shipwrecks, sleepless nights, and constant pressure, Paul continued to care for God’s people with Christlike devotion. Join us as we explore how Paul’s love for the church was shaped by Jesus Himself, whose unfailing love still strengthens, corrects, and sustains His people today.

In this week’s lesson, we see Paul’s moving portrait of authentic ministry in 2 Corinthians 3–7. Defending his sincerity and love for the Corinthians, Paul reveals that true ministry is not built on self-promotion, but on faithfulness to Christ and a deep burden for souls. The strongest evidence of a God-called ministry is seen in transformed lives, hearts changed by grace, and Christ formed within. As we study Paul’s words, we will discover what it means to serve with integrity, depend on the Spirit, and reflect the glory of Christ in life and labor.

"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies" (2 Corinthians 4:8-10, ESV).
