S3 Ep2 ”The Fragrance-Part 1”

What does Paul mean when he says we are the “aroma of Christ” to God? In this first episode of a two-part teaching, we begin unpacking the powerful imagery found in 2 Corinthians 2—where the knowledge of God is described not just as truth to be heard, but as a fragrance that is spread everywhere. This episode explores how regeneration is the starting point of that aroma. Before we can carry the fragrance of Christ, we must first be made alive by Him. We’ll walk through the biblical process of new birth, how God awakens hearts that were once dead, and why the gospel is both life-giving to some and offensive to others. Join us as we begin tracing how salvation is entirely the work of God—and how those He renews become living evidence of His triumph and grace. Part 2 will continue by looking at what it means to live as that fragrance in the world.
