The Measure of a Man and a Ministry | 2 Corinthians 10:12-18

In this expositional sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins of Reformation Baptist Church unpacks the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 10:12–18, addressing the danger of self-commendation, comparison, and the true measure of a faithful ministry. Drawing from Old and New Testament examples—from Gideon to King Herod, from Corinth to modern culture—this message confronts our temptation to boast in ourselves rather than in the Lord. We live in an age dominated by social media boasting, insecurity masked by pride, and spiritual one-upmanship. But Paul gives us a different metric: faithfulness, humility, God-given authority, and Christ-exalting boasting. 🔍 Whether you're a church leader, a parent, or a young believer wrestling with comparison, this sermon offers rich, biblical clarity and deep encouragement.   Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 10:12-18 1.
