March 30, 2025 "Examine Yourselves" 2 Corinthians 13:1-10. A sermon by Pastor Brent Bullard

Big Idea: The church's self-exam to see if they are in the faith will confirm that Paul, who brought them the gospel, is a true apostle of Jesus

I. Future examination: witnesses, warnings, and weakness (vv.1-4)

II. Examining ourselves in the present

    a. Congregational- This exam takes the whole church captive (vs. 5a)

    b. Confirming- Christ in us and Christ brought to us (vv. 5b-8)

    c. Corrective- Christ gave the apostles for the building up of His church to maturity (vv.9-10)
