Paul’s Concerns about the Church

2 Corinthians 11:1-3

“I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! ² I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. ³ But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.“

• Paul’s language about the church was harsh, to Timothy stand up if there were any troublemakers.
• This should be the concern for all leader of their churches.

PAUL LOVE FOR HIS CHURCH!

3: Eve had fellowship with God himself, serpent still managed to deceive her so her careful.

1 Timothy 2:13-14

¹³ For Adam was formed first, then Eve. ¹⁴ And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

SIN = SEPARATION FROM GOD

– Role of leaders is to correct

Psalms 51:19 – Redemption

“Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
    in burnt offerings offered whole;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.“
