- Series: Comfort from Above
Part: 2
The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, chooses to boast not in receiving revelations or in his accomplishments, but rather in his weaknesses. To keep him humble, God allowed a painful “thorn in the flesh,” and after Paul pleaded three times for its removal, the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul learned to gladly glory in his distresses and infirmities, because when he was weak, then he was strong through the power of Christ, showing us that God’s grace is always enough and that our shortcomings bring about God’s strength.

- Series: Comfort from Above
Part: 1
In 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, the Apostle Paul praises God as the Father of mercies, Who comforts believers in all their tribulations so they, in turn, can comfort others. Paul illustrates this through his own sufferings, explaining that as they increase, God’s consolation through Christ abounds, enabling endurance and mutual encouragement within the Body of Christ. The apostle came to trust that the God of all comfort Who delivered him in the past can deliver him day by day in the present, and would continue to deliver him in the future, until the day when he would be completely set free from the troubles of this world.

Part: 8
This message explains biblical "dispensations" as successive stages in which God has dealt with humanity differently over time, each involving a revelation of His will, human responsibility, failure, and judgment. It outlines eight eras and uses examples to show that instructions valid in one dispensation, like the Law of Moses, do not necessarily apply to another, as in today’s dispensation of grace. Understanding the Bible dispensationally is key to its correct interpretation and application, and brings peace and joy to our lives as we live according to God’s direct will as members of the Church, the Body of Christ.

For years, the church at Philippi was the only assembly that had faithfully supported Paul and his pioneering efforts in bringing the gospel to Europe and establishing it. In this episode, we see the apostle expressing his heartfelt gratitude to the Philippian believers. To them he writes that their latest gift brought him much joy in the Lord, not only because of the personal benefit for him, but also for the spiritual gain it would bring them when it came to eternal reward.

Part: 6
In this episode, we learn that Paul continued to instruct and encourage the Corinthians about the collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem, after the Corinthians’ original zeal for giving, which spurred the Macedonian believers to give so sacrificially, had faded. Using the “reaping and sowing” farming analogy to explain grace giving, Paul explains how others are blessed by the “cheerful giver,” whose generosity has eternal value and brings the glory, praise and thanksgiving back to God.

Part: 5
2 Corinthians, chapters 8 and 9, are two of the most important chapters on biblical giving for this current age of grace. Grace giving is not mandatory but voluntary; it stems from the heart. This episode chronicles the taking up of a special collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem, as the Apostle Paul makes an appeal to the Corinthian believers to follow the example of sacrificial giving by the Macedonian churches, while also reminding them of what Christ has sacrificially done for us.

In Malachi chapter 3, we learn of the consequences when the nation of Israel did not adhere to God’s commandments concerning tithes. As this episode reminds us, God’s relationship with His favored nation under the law was conditional—obey and be blessed, disobey and be chastened and cursed. But in this age of grace, God’s dealings with mankind have changed. Nowhere in the writings of the Apostle Paul is the church instructed to tithe under grace. We give out of gratitude for our freedom in Christ.

Here in Deuteronomy, God’s law concerning the tithe was clarified and explained. In addition to the initial tithe that went to the Levites, we also learn of two additional tithes: a festival tithe to support all Jews on the three yearly feast days, and a third tithe collected every three years for the poor and needy. This episode describes the two additional tithes, which, as the first, were directed specifically at the nation of Israel under the law, involved food and not money, and never were intended for the grace age Body of Christ today.

With the establishment of the Law of Moses came the command from God, exclusively to the nation of Israel, for the tithe (or “tenth”) to be instituted and paid only to the tribe of Levi and its priesthood. In this episode, we discover how tithing under the law was much more complex than how it is presented today by the modern church. From what the Apostle Paul says repeatedly about the law and its past requirements, the tithe has no place in this current age of grace.
