I.   Working for Joy in Others, II Corinthians 1:23-24

  • Not lording it over your faith
  • Working for the joy of your faith
  • For you are standing firm in your faith


II. Sorrowful Correction for the Sake of Joy in Others, II Corinthians 2:1-13

  • Sorrow in the church from Paul's Rebuke in I Corinthians
  • Paul's motive was his love for the Church
  • Sorrow had its rightful result, discipline of a wayward church member
  • Church discipline sufficient: repentance of a wayward church member
  • Church discipline completed: restore, forgive, comfort and affirm
  • Paul also forgave
  • Paul’s personal note on travel that caused a delay in his return to Corinth
