Lord willing, Season Five of the Blessed Hope Podcast will launch later this spring. I am hard at work preparing new episodes. In this brief introductory podcast episode, I hope to whet your whistle as I speak to the importance of this epistle, reveal some of the issues I will be addressing in the upcoming season, and give future listeners a homework assignment. I am really looking forward to getting underway and I hope you are too. For show notes and other recommended materials ...
Episode Synopsis: Paul has written a long letter dealing with on-going controversies in Corinth–his fourth letter to this congregation. We know this letter as 2 Corinthians. Among other things, Paul’s first Corinthian letter dealt with factions, lawsuits, idolatry, gifts of the Spirit, proper worship, and the nature of our Lord’s bodily resurrection in anticipation of our own. After Paul made a difficult visit to Corinth and sent the so-called painful letter to the Corinthia...
Episode Synopsis: Paul’s “Fool’s Speech” is a masterpiece in ancient rhetoric. Under constant criticism from false teachers and apostles who thought of themselves wiser and superior to Paul, the apostle responds to their accusations by taking on the role of a fool. These men are braggarts who regard Paul as weak and ineffective. They see themselves as vastly superior to the apostle. Rather than respond in kind, Paul offers a bit of bragging of his own. But inste...
Episode Synopsis: After completing the first 9 chapters of the letter we know as 2 Corinthians, and even as he was preparing to leave Macedonia and head south to Corinth, Paul received word from Corinth that a group of men whom he describes as false teachers and false apostles were wreaking havoc in the church. Not good news, and certainly a cause for immediate action. In Paul’s estimation, these men were the agents of Satan who deceitfully disguises himself as an angel of light.&...
Episode Synopsis: Paul is in Macedonia preparing to head south to Corinth. So far, he has written to the Corinthians about his office and authority and he has encouraged them to wrap up their efforts to collect an offering to be sent to the struggling church in Jerusalem. The Corinthians have been a difficult bunch for Paul, but when he wraps up the letter we know as in 2 Corinthians in chapter 9 he is both joyful and confident that the Corinthians understand his office and role i...
Episode Synopsis: Paul expressed concern that the Corinthian church would not have their offering ready upon his upcoming visit to Corinth. As we saw last time, this offering had two important purposes. The first was that there was a genuine need in Jerusalem as a result of an extended famine. Gentile churches in Macedonia and Achaia were spared from the famine and had the means to send a significant gift to the struggling church in Jerusalem. The second reason this ma...
Episode Synopsis: About the time Paul began his second missionary journey, a serious famine swept through Palestine–greatly impacting the Jerusalem church. Those who lived in the region knew how serious such things could be and so they prepared for it–stockpiling grain, spices, and animal feed, etc. But as soon as a church was organized in Jerusalem–after Pentecost–Jewish Christians found themselves cut off from the synagogue and its well-established relief system. Now on th...
Episode Synopsis: When Paul left Ephesus to visit Corinth in what is known as the “painful visit,” he became the object of a personal attack from an unnamed party. This was bad enough, but what made the matter worse was the fact that the Corinthians had done little if anything to support the apostle. This forced Paul to send the so-called “severe letter,” the text of which is lost to us. We may not have the letter, but we know the effects it had upon the congregation because...
