Sunday Sermon | The Weight of Glory | 2 Corinthians | Part 1

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner begins a new preaching series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Paul describes heaven as the eternal weight of glory.The Corinthians underestimated the unseen, spiritual, and eternal, preferring the seen, physical, and temporal, and did not embrace the renewal of the inner man. The renewing of our inner selves begins at redemption but that is just a start. Redemption is not a static condition that ends with justification. Spiritual discipline, however, is necessary for growth, not affections that are directed at physical, earthy, temporal things.There’s a tendency to think heavenly glory is a continuation of earthly glory. But what leads to heavenly glory is earthly affliction; the crown follows the cross. The final end of the continuum of earthly commitment to Christ and the accompanying difficulties is heavenly glory.
