Testing – 2 Corinthians 13:1-6
April 24, 2021 1 This will be my third visit to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” 2 I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who…
Requirements for Growth – 2 Corinthians 12:11-21
April 20, 2021 Paul has opened his life to the Corinthians and concludes with one final issue before moving to his conclusion. Paul is a missionary.

Weakness – 2 Corinthians 12:1-10

Competition – 2 Corinthians 10:13-18
3/18/2021 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you. 14 We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we…

Our theme for January was NEW and this proved more difficult to capture in images than I thought it would be. We were blessed with a beautiful day at the coast observing the big surf that resulted from a recent storm. It was a beautiful day and we were able to get some fun pictures. …
