UFlourish Church Podcast Ronaldo Ghenov, Kurt Owens

Since the Apostle Paul sees the financial gift the churches give as an expression of grace, he maintains that how that grace is handled and protected is of utmost importance.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 2 Corinthians 8 pointing to Paul's message on the Grace in giving and in what you have.

In 2 Corinthians 7:8-16, Paul emphasizes the transformative power of godly grief that leads to genuine repentance and salvation. He rejoices in the visible fruits of repentance displayed by the Corinthians, showcasing the earnestness, zeal, and obedience resulting from their changed hearts. As believers, we are called to embrace godly grief, produce fruits of repentance, and nurture mutual affection and trust within the community of faith, demonstrating the transformative work of the Gospel in our lives.

In this passage, Paul shows us how what God did for us transforms our lives and how the beauty of the gospel accomplishes reconciliation.

Pastor Kurt unpacks a portion of Matthew 28 detailing the authors claim that Jesus defeated death by raising from the dead with all authority; and had commissioned his disciples to make disciples of all people.

The church is the temple of the Living God and because of this stunning reality we are called to live lives that represent who the true God truly is.
