The Sufficiency of Grace in the Sourness of Life | 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

In this expositional sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Pastor Brandon Scroggins walks through one of the most powerful passages in Scripture—reminding us that God’s grace is not just saving grace, but sustaining grace for every trial.

When life turns bitter and difficult, believers are called to trust that God’s grace is sufficient—even in weakness, suffering, and affliction. This message explores how God uses trials, even a “thorn in the flesh,” to humble us, sanctify us, and display His power through our weakness.

What is Heaven Like? A Trip to Heaven and Back | 2 Corinthians 12:1-6

What is heaven really like? Can it be described? In this expositional sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:1–6, Pastor Brandon Scroggins walks through the Apostle Paul’s rare and mysterious account of being “caught up to the third heaven.” While many today claim visions and experiences, Paul’s response is striking—he refuses to boast and instead points us to the sufficiency of God’s Word and the humility produced by true encounters with divine glory.

This sermon challenges us to think biblically about heaven, eternity, and how a heavenly perspective shapes our lives right now. Rather than chasing subjective experiences, we are called to fix our eyes on Christ and live in light of the glory to come.

The Badge of True Discipleship: Part 2 | 2 Corinthians 11:26-33

In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 11, we continue examining Paul’s “fool’s speech” and the humble sufferings that mark a true servant of Christ. Scripture shows that faithful discipleship is not measured by pride, pedigree, or self-promotion, but by endurance, weakness, and steadfast faithfulness in the midst of affliction.

Pastor Brandon walks through Paul’s sufferings, dangers, and hardships, showing that suffering is often the badge of true discipleship. This message calls believers to discern false teachers, embrace faithfulness to Christ, and rest in the sovereign care of God through every trial.

Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 11:4-11

As we continue in 2 Corinthians 11:1-11, Paul lays out his most fundamental concern in the church- that you would be distracted from and deceived in your spiritual devotion to Christ!

(2 Corinthians 11:3-4)
