2 Corinthians 3:1,11 -Living Epistles- Pastor Rick Beaudry

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds 2 Corinthians 3:1-11, teaching that believers are living epistles written by the Spirit rather than by the letter of the law. He defends Paul against Judaizers who undermined his authority and explains the threefold basis of Paul’s ministry: commendation, competence, and confidence all coming from God. Beaudry contrasts the fading glory of the Old Covenant with the life giving ministry of the Spirit, summarizing that the letter kills but the Spirit gives life, and challenges us to reject external religiosity and celebrity Christianity in favor of humility and internal transformation. He closes with practical pastoral examples, a call to be visible witnesses of Christ’s love, and an invitation for anyone who has not trusted Jesus to be born again.
