These light and momentary afflictions?!? 2 Corinthians 4 [Daily Bible Study]

Today we hear one of Pastor Darren LeBlanc's favorite verses. Paul tells us that compared to knowing Jesus, the struggles we have in this world are simply light and momentary afflictions!

Branch Together brings Christians together to read the Bible every day. We know as Christians that we are called to "branch out" and reach the world around us, but first we must come "together" and develop habits that help us grow to be more like the people Jesus is calling us to be. So before we Branch Out, we Branch Together. Some people might call this Daily Devotions, or Quiet Time...whatever you call it, our videos kickstart your most important daily habit.

I needed that reminder at the end today... that the things God has for us are far better and INCOMPARABLE to the things of this world.

6-13-2020... Thank you for posting I came across your Channel looking for this particular scripture because one of a TBN PREACHER was speaking about it and it caught my eyes and wanted to read it later on and there YOU WERE, you made verse 7 clearer-when you explained that the jars of clay is the Gospel . I especially liked when you started praying before reading, I see that your post is from a year ago.. don’t see anything recent I pray your faith is increased as you read this comment... Remember your FAVORITE VERSE 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

[@BranchTogether]

Glad to have you. We post every weekday!

I am struggling with something hard for me. I need to listen to this again.

I’ve been asked to read 2 Corinth 4 1-7 at a memorial for a retired Minister who we lost last month. I needed to understand why he chose this reading.

I read 2 Corinthians 4 just moments ago, but I understood only part of it. Then I came across your channel, and everything now seems clear, especially the treasure in the jar metaphor. Thank you for this, pastor. God bless. Keep giving short sermons like this :-)

[@Alwaysradianteveryday]

Amen!

Thank you

[@bodhranbeatdrop356]

Great truth!

[@AndyBuckwalter]

Excellent points. Thanks for the reminder

[@BranchTogether]

Thanks Andy!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Your videos help a lot in my daily bible readings every morning

Thank you!

[@ayotundeoluyeye6016]

I love your voice, it’s really calming ❤️

[@Stebnitzbuilders]

Paul certainly has a theme going here. I really like it and can relate to it personally. Thanks for the reminder and your perspective on the chapter, Darren.

[@DarrenLeBlancx]

Thanks Chris. Good to hear from you. How's business going these days?

[@Stebnitzbuilders]

Life is great. Business is very busy, thanks. I think ever since that t-shirt made an appearance ... :) Might we see an encore appearance sometime?? I found myself getting behind this summer and not watching. Rob and I talked and we recommitted to watching and discussing when appropriate. While I like the videos and the insight you and Jared provide a great deal, I like the dialogue it leads to between Rob and me - maybe more. I do like the new set change, but I was a bigger fan of reading the Chapter while it was being read. I think it's a great way for me to digest the message faster and more completely. Thanks for reaching out!

[@DarrenLeBlancx]

@@Stebnitzbuilders do you mean reading by having the text on screen? We intend to still do that, I just couldn't do it today cause it takes more time and I ran out of time...haha.

[@princessdia7456]

Awesome 👏 a

Thank you Branch Together for the Daily Bible Study; as it helps me with daily bible readings with the ladies I lead in my City Group (Small Group). I do enjoy when Pastor LeBlanc breaks down the context, this is very helpful! Much appreciated. And when Pastor said "ya'll" I was able to relate, as I'm watching from Canada haha. In all seriousness, V16-18 hits close to home, as it's almost my mothers' one year mark of her passing from cancer. Thank you for speaking on this. God bless.

[@BranchTogether]

Juanita, so sorry to hear about you mother's passing last year. I pray that God is comforting you now and showing you his immeasurable richness in the midst of your sorrow. - Darren

[@juanitasobarzo6812]

@@BranchTogether Amen, oh how He has been. I have my moments, but it always ends with thanksgiving. My beautiful Mother received Christ and was baptize one day before she stopped speaking. Thank you for your kind words. God bless you Pastor and BT Church.

[@mariapaletta8025]

2 Corinthians 4 maybe you can change the 1 to 2 ? Great message thanks

[@BranchTogether]

Oops, sorry about that!
