Sermons

We continue in this section after we discussed the background and probable situation that Paul was responding to. Paul had been suffering greatly because of uncertainty over the fate of Titus, the situation at the Corinthian church, and the reception they may have given his most recent letter. In the end he is comforted and encouraged by seeing Titus again and hearing what he has to report. From that joy, however, he goes on to talk about the complex feelings he has been experiencing regarding the letter and message he had sent to Corinth.
