PAUL'S DOXOLOGY “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift”.

Were Paul’s appeals successful? Paul paid his third visit to Corinth as planned 2 Corinthians 12:14; 13:1 He spent three months in the winter of A.D. 56–57 in Greece Acts 20:2, 3 During which he wrote Romans Romans 15:26, 27

2 Corinthians 9 Are we ready to give? We reap what we sow We need to think about giving seriously and make a decision to give in our hearts. We are to give cheerfully and joyfully. We are to give in faith knowing we can never out-give God. Our giving is an indication of our faith and spiritual maturity.

Annual Harvest Service

2 Corinthians 9 We do not give because of what we can get in return. We give because of the need and because of the example of God, the example of Jesus and the example of all the Christians and churches through the centuries who have given so generously. We give so that God will be glorified and that people will give thanks to God, not to us because all good gifts come from God.
