The Pastoral Epistles of Saint Paul
Talk by Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen), part 17, II Corinthians 9-11
September 27, 2022

Topics include: 
(1) On giving to the Church to support its clergy and its programs to further its mission: St Paul has no qualms talking about money and encouraging generosity; On tithing and investing our treasure and thereby our hearts in the Church's ministry; On the financial need within ROCOR; 
(2) Paul did not use earthly or carnal means, but fought by grace with divine power against heresies that oppose true knowledge of Christ; True ministry is not a personality show ... it is not self commendation, but being approved by God, having his grace bearing witness; 
(3) Paul preached freely to the Corinthians, His love being the underlying reason for his preaching; 
(4) A short introduction to our new First Hierarch, Metropolitan Nicholas.
