  1. Background • Paul establishes church during 2nd missionary journey • During 3rd missionary journey went to Ephesus • Corinthians sent leaders to Paul about problems • Paul responds with 1 Corinthians, but problems persisted • Paul visits Corinth and reprimands some (“painful visit”) • False teachers rise up and discredit Paul • Paul sends Titus to Corinth, and tells Corinthians he will visit them on the way to Macedonia and on the way back • Paul later decides not to visit Corinth on the way to Macedonia • False teachers then claim that Paul vacillates and thus not led by Spirit • Corinthians side with Paul and rebuke the false teachers • Titus brings word to Paul in Macedonia • Paul responds with 2 Corinthians and visits them afterward

  2. Key Questions for Us • Am I consistent in what I say and stand for or is my life riddled with inconsistencies? • Am I walking with the Lord or am I resisting Him in some areas of my life? • Do I trust God with the results of my efforts or do I fret over the results?
