Chapel | Daniel Schrock | 2 Corinthians 7:2-7

In this chapel message, based on 2 Corinthians 7:2-7, Rev. Dr. Dan Schrock of Bethel Church (OPC) in Wheaton, IL, emphasizes the importance of loving and committing to the church despite potential pain and difficulties. He argues against spiritual isolation, asserting that true Christians cannot love Jesus while shunning His bride. Using the Apostle Paul's tenacious relationship with the Corinthian church as an example, Rev. Schrock challenges both pastors and laypeople to cultivate a resilient, enduring love for their local congregation, stressing the need to embrace the messy reality of church life rather than an idealized concept, and highlighting the eternal bond between believers in Christ. Ultimately, this message encourages ministers to persevere in their pastoral duties with the hope of standing alongside their congregations in the resurrection.
