Why This Resource Matters

Second Corinthians is Paul's most autobiographical and emotionally transparent letter. Across all thirteen chapters, we see the heart of a true minister of the gospel—his struggles, tears, defense of his ministry, and profound theological reflections on suffering, glory, reconciliation, generosity, and apostolic authority. In an age where pastoral ministry faces constant challenges, Christians wrestle with suffering, and the church must discern true from false teaching, this resource provides clear, biblical teaching grounded in careful exegesis and faithful exposition.

Ben Smith, Sr., serves as pastor of Central Baptist Church in Waycross, Georgia. All sermons reflect conservative, evangelical theology consistent with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

Included: 26 complete sermons with outlines and handouts. Author: Benjamin E. Smith Sr.
