These carefully outlined expository messages reflect Paul's major themes in Second Corinthians-preeminently that "there is supreme, surpassing joy in serving Jesus." Topics such as stewardship, servanthood, sufficiency of grace, and commitment are also discussed, but the theme of joy predominates.

Pastors who are looking for sermon preparation ideas will appreciate these twenty messages. The sermons offer clear, well-organized explorations of themes and subthemes in Second Corinthians, material that goes far beyond the usual help found in commentaries. Duduit has provided excellent homiletic resources that can easily be adapted to a variety of preaching needs.
