The Cleansing Power of God’s Promises | 2 Corinthians 7:1-4

In this powerful and deeply pastoral exposition from 2 Corinthians 7:1–4, Pastor Brandon Scroggins calls us to consider the cleansing power of God’s covenant promises. With urgency and tenderness, Paul exhorts believers to cleanse themselves from every defilement of body and spirit, open their hearts to faithful ministry, bind their souls to Christ’s people, and serve the church in sacrificial love.

This sermon speaks directly to the spiritual health of the local church, the often fragile relationship between pastor and congregation, and the need for genuine, covenantal unity rooted in the fear of God. As Pastor Brandon reminds us, all the promises of God find their “Yes” in Christ—and that motivates holiness, love, and long-suffering service among the body of Christ.
