Paul's letter to the church in Corinth describes human bodies as clay jars in chapter 4, and in chapter 5, as tents in which we are burdened and groan. The bible tells us that we will live in an eternal house in heaven - much better than a tent!
Trainee Youth Minister Andi continues our God Through 2 Corinthians series exploring what it means to be raised to a new body, and what we do while we wait in these temporary tents.

We all have rules in our lives that dictate to a certain extent how we live our lives. Right now, in the lockdown, we have many extra rules going on as well. Some people are sticklers for rules - they love 'em, and will take them even further than originally intended. Others though, look for loopholes and ways to skirt the rules. In the Bible, we have two sections, the Old Testament, and New Testament - before Jesus came, and after. In Jesus, we have someone who is faithful to the promises of God in a way that humanity never could. Kirk continues our series God Through 2 Corinthians looking at 2 Corinthians 3:1-18.

So why does Paul, in his letter 2 Corinthians suggest that to some, the good news of Jesus smells like death? Julie continues our God Through 2 Corinthians series looking at 2 Corinthians 2:5-17.
