How is Paul really an apostle of Christ?
ARE THERE ONLY TWO LETTERS TO THE CORINTHIANS?
Paul possibly wrote a letter before 1 Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9) and a letter between 1 & 2 Corinthians (2 Cor. 2:3-4)
Therefore, there may exist as many as four Corinthian letters
Why is 2 CORINTHIANS necessary?
Because some in the Corinthian church have not responded to his teaching, Paul pours out his
heart concerning his ministry for Christ

3. Jars of clay
2 Corinthians 4:7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves;
v.6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know
that while we are at home in the body we are away
from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the
body and at home with the Lord.
v.9-10 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in
the body, whether good or evil.

HIS DEDICATION TO GIVING
GUIDELINES:
2 Corinthians 9:6-7Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 CORINTHIANSPAUL IS SOLID IN HIS MINISTRY 8-13
2 Corinthians 12:7-10And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me-- to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
