Well, just before we took our break from GraceLife for Sundays in July, we concluded our exposition of Paul's letter to the Philippians. That means that I have the great joy and immense privilege of beginning a new sermon series with you this morning. And so would you open your Bibles and turn with me to Second Corinthians—Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. And though many of you have asked, I have been intentionally hesitant to definitively reveal which book I would go to after completing Philippians. And that's mostly because I haven't been sure! Especially with the extra time off, I had a lot of time to think about what I would preach next, but that didn't help my decisiveness any! I must have decided to preach five different books over the last few months.
And that process of deciding what to preach next involves a number of things for me. First, I considered where the Lord was inclining my own affections: what were the particular books I wanted to preach? And, even more importantly, I spent time in prayer considering what message from Scripture that GraceLife needed to hear at this point: was there a particular book whose main point would be especially helpful to us at this time?
