Preparation
-
Read, ponder, and pray about the following scriptures:
-
a. 2 Corinthians 1:3–11; 4; 6:1–10; 11:21–33; 12:1–10. Paul teaches about overcoming tribulation.
-
b. 2 Corinthians 2:5–11. Paul admonishes the Saints to forgive each other.
-
c. 2 Corinthians 7:8–10. Paul teaches about feeling godly sorrow for sins.
-
d. 2 Corinthians 5:17–21. Paul exhorts the Saints to be reconciled to God.
-
If New Testament Video Presentations (53914) is available, show “Godly Sorrow,” an eleven-minute segment, during the lesson.
-
If you use the attention activity, bring a small amount of sand to class.
-
Suggestion for teaching: Leave time at the end of class to summarize what you have taught. A carefully planned summary can help class members organize and clarify what they have learned and consider how to apply it in their lives. (See Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], pages 94–95.)
