Marks of a Mature Church | 2 Corinthians 8:6-9

📖 Sermon Title: Marks of a Mature Church
📅 Date: Sunday, November 9, 2025
🎙️ Preacher: Pastor Brandon Scroggins
📍 Reformation Baptist Church – Central Alabama

What defines a truly successful church? Is it buildings, budgets, and baptisms—or is it something far deeper? In this expositional sermon from 2 Corinthians 8:1–9, Pastor Brandon Scroggins leads us through Paul’s exhortation to the Corinthian church to complete their offering to the struggling believers in Jerusalem. Along the way, we are challenged to examine the marks of maturity in our own lives and church: faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness, and love.

Ultimately, the sermon draws our attention to the gospel-centered motivation behind all true generosity: the self-emptying love of Christ. Though He was rich, He became poor so that we might become eternally rich through His grace.
