(The Meaning of Offering 2)

2 Corinthians 8:16-9:15

Key Verse: 9:7

1. Read 15:16-17. How did Paul describe about Titus? (17-17, 23) Who is Paul sending along with Titus (18–19), and why (20–21)? Look at v. 22-24. Who else is he sending (22)? What does Paul say about these men (23) and how to receive them (24)?

2. Read 9:1-5. How had the Corinthians been a good example to the Macedonians (9:1–2)? How and why is Paul helping the Corinthians to be “ready” (3–5)?

3.  Read v.6-7. What principle of giving does Paul share (6)? With what spirit does God want us to give (7)? Read v. 8-11. How does he bless those who give (8–11a)?

4. Read v. 12-15. What is the ultimate goal of our giving (11b–15), and why is this important? How is your attitude toward offering, and how is your giving life from the viewpoint of Paul’s teaching?
