2 Corinthians 2:1-17 "Discipline and Restoration" 5/21/23

This is what Paul wanted to avoid…the confrontation that would lead to an argument, that would leave people with their feelings hurt.
So, he writes this letter…but as we will discover when we get to chapter ten…they even had an issue with him writing the letter…look up on the screen:
For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.” (2 Corinthians 10:10 ESV)
Man! They were a rough crowd in the church at Corinth…I always looked at Corinth as the New Jersey of Asia Minor.
