Now is the Time! | 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

In today’s sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins exposits 2 Corinthians 6:1–5 in a message titled “Now Is the Time.” This passage delivers an urgent call to receive God’s grace with faith, to endure in trials, and to recognize the true credentials of faithful Christian ministry.

Rooted in the context of Paul’s heartfelt plea to the Corinthian church, this sermon challenges believers to avoid receiving God’s grace in vain. Pastor Brandon walks us through how genuine ministers suffer, labor, and persevere, not for the praise of man but for the glory of God. We are reminded that the present moment is the divinely appointed season of salvation and sanctification.
