In Christ: The Living Word - 2 Corinthians 3

In 2 Corinthians 3, we finally begin to understand the sort of opposition the Apostle Paul had been facing in his ministry. In a full defense of his doctrine and beliefs, Paul launches into a powerful message about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not a mere off-shoot of Judaism, but was something brand new. While the influence and scriptures of ancient Israel would always be a priceless foundation for our faith, Paul wanted us to know that Christianity can stand on its own nail-scarred feet. In this message, we hear Paul explain how the Old Testament and Sinai Covenant always pointed to something better and much more glorious. We also look at several passages in both the Old and New Testaments that flesh this idea even more. What we discover is the true, transformative nature of our Christian faith and receive an invitation to step out of religion, into a dynamic relationship with Jesus. With His Living Word guiding us, and His Holy Spirit within us, we can truly come face to face and hand in hand with God. This is an experience, and a liberty, that can only be found in Christ.
