Paul's second letter to the Corinthians offers us a unique glimpse into the heart and soul of this apostle as he contends for the integrity of the church. In this letter, Paul covers topics such as transparency, joy, sincerity, reputation, service, humility, leadership, performance and accountability, reconciliation, working with nonbelievers, encouragement, generosity, timely fulfillment of obligations, and the proper use of wealth—all topics still applicable to our modern workplaces.

This study is written for those who want to learn how to be more effective in their work—and those who are willing to trust God for the ability to do so. There is a practical model in Paul and his teachings in 2 Corinthians, all of which are rooted in the deep sufficiency of God’s grace in our lives.
