Second Corinthians Reading Guide

Out of a desire to explore the theme of God’s shalom as ‘connectedness’ this year, we want to focus intentionally on two particular books of the Bible for the year: 2 Corinthians and Genesis.

While you will hear numerous sermons referring to these books all year, we also invite you to participate together in something deeper and bigger than just listening to sermons. Underneath the complexities of every book of the Bible, there is the simple, sure story of Father, Son and Spirit seeking to bring multi-faceted connection in the face of all that is disconnected.

We invite you to be formed in this simple story by reading through 2 Corinthians this fall, and Genesis 1-11 beginning in January. As you read, remain open to the ways God might speak to us as a community as we approach each chapter asking:

How is God bringing about re-connection in what I read?

What is God’s invitation to me in this passage?

What might God be inviting us into as a community?
