This message names something many of us feel but rarely say out loud: alienation—being cut off from God, from others, and even from ourselves. Paul writes 2 Corinthians to a church dealing with wounded relationships, shallow judgments, and spiritual confusion. Into that messy reality, he offers a surprising claim: Christ died for everyone, “putting everyone in the same boat,” and giving us a “resurrection life” that is better than life lived alone. That’s not just a private spiritual upgrade—it’s a call into reconciliation and a new way of seeing people.
