2 Corinthians
"If anyone has caused grief..."
Text: 2 Corinthians 2:5
DEALING WITH PROBLEMS
There was a time when problems arose. These difficulties, of course, had to be resolved. Paul had to deal with the problems in his own typical way.
1. Spell out the problem.
2. Seek out the underlying factors.
3. See things in the Biblical perspective.
4. Seek to resolve problems so that the church may be fully restored.
5. Seeking full reconciliation must be the ultimate goal.
WHEN PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED
When problems come, the heart is often troubled and hurt. When problems are resolved, there is still a need to exercise understanding and compassion.
“But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me,
but all of you to some extent- not to be too severe.”
2 Corinthians 2:5
