    S4:286 2 Corinthians 10-13
    2025/11/29
    "Paul says the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. What does this mean in practice for the church and individual believers today? Why does Paul boast in weakness and how should Christians today think about strength, weakness, and God’s power being made perfect in weakness? How should believers today approach this kind of self-examination without falling into either pride or unhealthy doubt? In today's episode, Emma Dotter discusses 2 Corinthians 10-13 with Watermark member, Jacob Arrington. Together, they discuss what weapons of warfare we are facing today, what the thorn in Paul's flesh was, and how we can understand our own weaknesses.

    "What does the Macedonians giving ‘beyond their means’ out of joy, even in affliction and poverty teach us about the relationship between generosity, joy, and trust in God’s provision? How should 2 Corinthians 8:9 shape the way Christians think about money and generosity? Paul says whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and that God loves a cheerful giver. How should Christians understand this principle without turning it into a prosperity gospel message? What does it actually mean to reap abundantly? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark CDC volunteers Jason and Connie Reed about 2 Corinthains 6-9, the dangers of the prosperity gospel, and how we can steward our finances in a way that glorifies the Lord.

    "Paul says God comforts us in our affliction so we can comfort others. How does this shape a biblical view of suffering—and how is it different from how our culture thinks about comfort and hardship? How should Christians today understand the glory of the new covenant, and what does it practically mean to be ministers of it? What does it mean for believers to live as ambassadors for Christ in a divided world? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Casey Uphues discuss 2 Corinthians 1-5, glorifying the Lord by walking on our freedom and reconciliation. Casey challenges us to think about what we are not allowing God to use and what we might be holding onto rather than surrendering to the Lord.

    "How should churches today balance valuing every member’s gift while also pursuing order in worship, especially when it comes to gifts like tongues and prophecy? Paul places the famous ‘love chapter’ right in the middle of his teaching on spiritual gifts. What does this show us about the relationship between love and the use of our gifts in the church? How does the bodily resurrection of Jesus—and our future resurrection—shape the way Christians live right now? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member Laura Buchelt talk about 1 Corinthians 12-16, and dive into how we ought to understand Paul's teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

    "How should we understand Paul's counsel in chapter 7 about staying single ‘because of the present distress’? In chapters 8–10, Paul talks about food offered to idols, liberty, and not causing others to stumble. How do these principles guide us in modern issues where Christians disagree on gray areas? How should the church today approach communion with the reverence and unity Paul calls for? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark member, Callie Nixon, about 1 Corinthians 7-11 and discuss the topics of singleness, marraige, living as an encouragement to others, and partaking in communion with reverence. Callie reminds us that these chapters reflect the love Christ has for us as we are instructed for right living with him.

    "How does Romans 15:5 speak into the challenges of unity across cultural, ethnic, and generational differences in the church today? What can we learn from Paul’s missionary vision about how the church should think about global missions today?

    "How does the image of a ""living sacrifice"" connect back to Old Testament sacrifices, and what does it practically look like for a Christian to live as a living sacrifice today? In today's episode, Watermark Community Director, Katie Shemanske, talks about Romans 12-14 and unpacks how we as believers can live out the principles Paul is teaching in these chapters. Katie challenges us in how we live a life surrendered to Christ, love one another, and find our satisfaction in Christ alone.
