[01/16/2022 AM] - "The Context of the Proclaimed Comfort" 2 Corinthians 1: 1-11

In the morning of the upcoming Lord's Day we will take our second look at the mini-series "Yes, You Can Read the Bible" by examining context - "why is context so important?" There will be several things to consider here and we will do so from 2 Corinthians 1.1,2. To help you in planning ahead for this series please know that the following Lord's Day morning sermon will look at intent - "why did the Holy Spirit inspire these Words?" - from the next text - 2 Corinthians 1.3-11. So for the next two Lord's days we will look at 2 Corinthians 1.1-11 carefully. Please pray for deeper interest in reading the Bible and ask the Lord to give you the tools to do this more and more! Also, have you thought of a friend or two you might invite? We want people to know that we can read the Bible!
