October 12, 2026 · Jared Mitchell
1:232 Corinthians 5
that Bible with me and let's read together 2 Corinthians chapter 5, starting in verse 17. Paul writes this, That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses
3:292 Corinthians 5
Section 2 being verses 20 through 21. But before we do that, we'll recap last week as we looked at the beginning of 2 Corinthians chapter 5. And as Christians, we reminded ourselves that our confidence, the courage that we have is not in ourselves, but our confidence and our courage is in Christ. And now today, as we look at the latter part of chapter 5, I want to begin by asking you this question.

2 Corinthians – Doubt and Confidence (2 Corinthians 5:1–6)
October 5, 2026 · Dr Josh Burnham
1:152 Corinthians 5
And those who are watching online, you know, today we are worshiping again through the book of 2 Corinthians. And if you have your Bibles, if you're new here, join us in 2 Corinthians. If you've been here, you should already have that marked. 2 Corinthians chapter 5. And today, I want us to think about the future. Think about the future together. I believe humanity has always had an unnatural relationship with the future.
4:152 Corinthians 5
2 Corinthians chapter 5, beginning in verse 1. God's word reads, For we know that if our earthly tent that we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal dwelling in the heavens, not made with human hands. Indeed, we groan in this tent, desiring to put on our heavenly dwelling, since when we have taken it off, we will not be found naked.
Jeremiah: Our Righteousness Has a Name (Jeremiah 33:14-16)

Micah: Who is Like the Lord? (Micah 1:1-9)
October 26, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham
15:012 Corinthians 5
Because the way I read my Bible in 2 Corinthians 5 verse 10, Paul, writing to the church of the new covenant, uses old covenant language. Church, hear the word of the Lord. We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Sound familiar? So that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
Asking for a Friend: What Happens When We Die (Luke 23:43)
August 31, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham
12:542 Corinthians 5:8
He again says in 2 Corinthians 5.8, and he told us that away from the body is to be at home with the Lord. With the Lord. Are we sensing a deep admonition from God? John Calvin put it beautifully this way. As soon as we leave this world, we make straight for the blessed vision of God. There is no waiting when you die. We make straight the blessed vision of the Lord.
22:442 Corinthians 5:8
Again, 2 Corinthians 5.8, he says, away from the body, to be at home or present with the Lord. With the Lord. What happens when you die for the believer? Over and over and over again, it's like a modern worship song that keeps repeating itself…
Matthew – Ugly Temptation and Beautiful Redemption (Matthew 4:1-11)
May 18, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham
8:492 Corinthians 5:21
And I know this because 2 Corinthians 5.21 tells us that he who was without sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God. Jesus was sinless. And so if Jesus was tempted and remained without sin, then that means that temptation is not sin. So if you're holding on by a thread and you say, Pastor, I'm being tempted, all is lost. No, it's not.
Ecclesiastes – Moderation in a Misshapen World (Ecclesiastes 7:15-20)
July 7, 2024 · Dr Josh Burnham
37:502 Corinthians 5
Of course, I will cleanse you. Of course, I will adopt you. That's why I left the 99. That's why Jesus died on the cross. Do not leave this place as ugly as you ventured in. Let God change your portrait today. 2 Corinthians 5 reminds us this. Verse 17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
When in Romans: The Righteousness of God Through Faith – Romans 3
February 5, 2024 · Jared Mitchell
34:022 Corinthians 5:21
Look at these two verses. I want you to see that this is how we meet this standard that God requires. 2 Corinthians 5.21. Paul writes that he made the one, Jesus, who did not know sin, to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Paul also writes in Philippians, and for the believer, for the Christian, this is our story.
The Worthy One (Revelation 5:1-14)
September 18, 2022 · Jared Mitchell
35:302 Corinthians 5:17
working and I know it looks okay today and it feels okay tomorrow but we know that because of our brokenness we will never be who we're supposed to be without Jesus Christ working in our lives so I would beg you to repent of your sin to put your faith in Jesus 2nd Corinthians 5 17 therefore the old has passed and the new has come when you turn to Jesus he will not just put tape

9:122 Corinthians 5:20
in his word, through the Nazirite vow, third time, that ordinary people, you, me, could do extraordinary things by his strength and his power. It's the reminder that the Nazirite vow was a visible sign that Adonai will do great things through his people. 2 Corinthians 5.20 says, we are ambassadors for Christ. If you have given your life to Jesus,
Troubled Hearts: Alarm or Assurance – (Judges 6:1-6)
October 10, 2021 · Dr Josh Burnham
17:442 Corinthians 5
Gideon is hiding. Gideon sees a fearful, timid person. And God says, hey, valiant warrior, this is what you can be when my spirit works through you. And some of you today only see yourself as you currently sit. But let me remind you of 2 Corinthians 5. But what God says, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away and behold, the new has come.

26:242 Corinthians 5
Jesus has made a way for us to be reconciled to God and when we come to God through faith in Christ we become a new creation 2nd Corinthians 5 that the old has passed God is literally remembering our sins no more and how I pray that when I look back that when you look back is that we can say that it was always only Jesus so

Lessons from a stump

14:142 Corinthians 5
2 Corinthians 5, verse 10 says that we will all, we, all of us, will sit before the throne of God and will be a judge according to our works. So do not think because of Christ, you will avoid judgment. That's not what the Bible says. Because of Christ, you will pass through judgment. Now what a glorious truth that is. But you, you and I will not escape judgment. And because of 2 Corinthians 5, 10,
14:452 Corinthians 5
And because of 2 Corinthians 5, 10, that we will all be before the throne of God. Now we can speak 2 Corinthians 5, 21, that says God has given to us the ministry of reconciliation. And so we, we cry to a world. We say, turn back to God, be reconciled back to him. So what the world does not need to hear from us is you will be judged. They need to hear this. We will be judged. And we will be judged first.

31:232 Corinthians 5
Scripture says very clearly, 2 Corinthians 5, 17, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed, and behold, the new has come. That's a lie. None of us are worthy to be used by God, but yet he makes us new. Don't believe the half-lie. Sometimes we believe this. Well, I'm a sinner, and God can never save me. Romans 5, 8 clearly says that while we were still sinners, God proved his love.

14:052 Corinthians 5:17
Verse 12, for equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. So let's start there. How do you live out what Christ wants you to live out this year? First, you need to belong. 2 Corinthians 5:17. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away and behold, the new has come. So what does that mean in Scripture? Over and over and over again, the greatest descriptor for the people of…

1:462 Corinthians 5
If you have your Bible with you today, either physically or electronically, go ahead and open and join me in the book of 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians chapter 5. It's in the New Testament about halfway through, about three quarters of the way to the end of your Bible. 2 Corinthians. You know, there's been a lot of famous deaths in history. JFK, Marie Antoinette.
9:292 Corinthians 5
And I want to give you four promises and four truths that are a reality because of Jesus, because of the resurrection for you. 2 Corinthians 5, beginning in verse 14. Paul, writing to the church in Corinth, says, For the love of Christ compels us. Since we have reached this conclusion, if one died, if Jesus died for all, then all died.

Reformation: 5 statements that form/faith
24:172 Corinthians 5
for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Workmanship carries with it the idea of new creation like in 2 Corinthians 5 that says we are a new creation, the old is gone, the new has come. So Paul is summarizing the salvation message that we are dead in our sins, that God has made us a completely different person

30:562 Corinthians 5:17
The world should see that we are sincere people. They need to see our hearts. Serve in a way that people see your heart, that it has changed radically and fundamentally. And we say, well, how can this be? How, pastor, how could God's word ask me to do something that I don't like and put my heart in it? I'm glad you asked. Second Corinthians 5:17. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

25:392 Corinthians 5:21
And he died. He became a curse that you and I might not have to run this rat race and die a life without him. Why the cross? Because he was cursed for us. 2 Corinthians 5:21. He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God. Jesus Christ made his throne the cross, that he might become sin for you. That he might become sin.

17:182 Corinthians 5
In Christ, we are new creations. The old has passed, 2 Corinthians 5, right? And the new has come. So we don't seek Christ just to become moral behaviorists. Like, you know, I'm a good person, but God's going to make me a little better. No, he redeems my soul so I can glorify in him…

Climbing Down from Selfish to Selfless! (Luke 19:1-10)
November 30, 2014 · Dan Moran
5:172 Corinthians 5
I think there are two key points of interest to two realities today. The reality of a life transformed. The New Living Translation version of 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17 says, Those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore. The old life is gone and a new life has begun. You see, if you're a Christ follower in this room, the old is gone. A new living mechanism in your life called salvation has begun.

today. We want this disciple-making process. We want to be disciples of Christ, but we do not have Christ in us, the hope of glory. The old character must be buried. Second principle, the new character must be birthed. So if we put to death the old character, a new character must be birthed. Second Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17. You know this, those of you Christ followers. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

For we must all appear before the Lord, in 2 Corinthians 5, verse 10, the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad. At the end of our lives, we will receive from God what we are living. God…

We got people here that love football. I know where I am. And there's some people here that are ecstatic. There are other people here that are a little down, a little down.
8:482 Corinthians 5
My background is sports. But I can tell you today that we're all winners if we focus upon Jesus, who came that all of us who are losers might know the victory that's in Christ. That's what we celebrate today. In 2 Corinthians chapter 5, I see a verse in verse 17 that says, If any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Old things pass away, all things become new.

We know that according to the word of God, 2 Corinthians 5, verse 15, and verse 10, old things pass away. We become a new creation. We ask ourselves, you know, nothing's ever really become new to me. Being born again. You know, if I'm born again, it's like being born the first time. And my little three-week-old grandson is here this morning. And I want to tell you something. He's the oddest looking thing you've ever seen in his life.
