The Feast Weekender News
23 April 2010 II Corinthians 1-4
Dear Saints,
This weekend we prayerfully continue our Feast; with four chapters in 2 Corinthians 1-4. Thank you all for Feasting and Praying with me, Bob is going in to the hospital for a stress test. Speaking of stress; "Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'? I tell you the truth; you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.” John 16:19-21 (New International Version). This says our stress will turn to joy in the Lord. Lord willing I will send and post the Feast Monday.
“It is written: “‘As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.”- Romans 14:11

II Corinthians Overview
“The second epistle to the Corinthians probably was written about a year after the first. Its contents are closely connected with those of the former epistle. The manner in which the letter St. Paul formerly wrote had been received, is particularly noticed; this was such as to fill his heart with gratitude to God, who enabled him fully to discharge his duty towards them. Many had shown marks of repentance, and amended their conduct, but others still followed their false teachers; and as the apostle delayed his visit, from his unwillingness to treat them with severity, they charged him with levity and change of conduct. Also, with pride, vain-glory, and severity, and they spake of him with contempt. In this epistle we find the same ardent affection towards the disciples at Corinth, as in the former, the same zeal for the honour of the gospel, and the same boldness in giving Christian reproof. The first six chapters are chiefly practical: the rest have more reference to the state of the Corinthian church, but they contain many rules of general application.” - Matthew Henry Concise
April 23, 2010, 2 Corinthians 1; “The apostle blesses God for comfort in, and deliverance out of troubles. (1-11) He professes his own and his fellow-labourers' integrity. (12-14) Gives reasons for his not coming to them. (15-24)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Apr 24, 2010, 2 Corinthians 2 & 3; “Reasons for the apostle not coming to Corinth. (1-4) Directions about restoring the repentant offender. (5-11) An account of his labours and success in spreading the gospel of Christ. (12-17)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Apr 25, 2010, 2 Corinthians 4, “The apostles laboured with much diligence, sincerity, and faithfulness. (1-7) Their sufferings for the gospel were great, yet with rich supports. (8-12) Prospects of eternal glory keep believers from fainting under troubles. (13-18)” - Matthew Henry Concise
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
