Cover to Cover Every Day: 2 Kings, 2 Corinthians

2 Kings - Jeremy Thomson


In July Jeremy Thomson writes on 2 Kings. In telling the sad story of the decline of Israel and Judah into exile, 2 Kings highlights the repeated unfaithfulness towards God of the majority of kings. In contrast, it is clear that true power belongs to God's word in the mouth of his prophets. This book challenges conventional political assumptions, values 'ordinary people', warns church leaders, and encourages prophets.


2 Corinthians - Ian Coffey


In August Ian Coffey writes on 2 Corinthians. In this letter Paul opens his heart and reveals how the message of the cross demonstrates power in weakness and victory through suffering. This is not theoretical theology for the classroom but the reality of a lived-out faith. Paul discovered strength in weakness for himself and his experience speaks to all who want to live as authentic disciples of Christ in a world that throws up more questions than answers.These bimonthly notes are written by a variety of respected Bible teachers to help you study God's Word daily.
