The Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians 2 Corinthians 13:11-14
- Rev. Dr. Paul Kacsur
- May 31, 2026
Rev. Dr. Paul Kacsur’s sermon focused on Paul’s closing words in 2 Corinthians 13, especially the call to examine ourselves before receiving the blessing of God’s grace, love, and fellowship. He emphasized that the Christian life requires honest self-evaluation, asking whether we are truly living in faith, repenting of sin, and growing in obedience to Christ. Using Paul’s warning to the Corinthians, Dr. Kacsur reminded the congregation that God’s blessings are not to be taken lightly and that believers should regularly test their hearts rather than compare themselves to others. He encouraged listeners to measure their lives against Jesus Christ rather than human standards, allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal areas that need repentance and growth. The sermon highlighted the love of God the Father, the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit as gifts available to those who walk faithfully with God. Dr. Kacsur stressed that conviction from the Holy Spirit is evidence of God’s love and a means of shaping believers into the people He created them to be. He concluded by urging the church to seek God’s help, pursue holiness, and live in such a way that they may one day hear Christ say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
