Spreading the Fragrance | 2 Corinthians 2 | Gary Hamrick

1/12/2025
In 2 Corinthians 2:14–17, Paul compares our life in Christ to a Roman victory parade honoring a general after a successful military campaign. Such a parade in the first century A.D. would have included priests carrying censors with burning spices to fill the streets with a wonderful fragrance. In this analogy, Paul says Jesus is our general who leads us in triumphal procession, and we are like the ones spreading the fragrance of Him everywhere we go. It’s a reminder that not only is Jesus our Conquering King, but we are to spread the knowledge of Him everywhere we go! Are you spreading the fragrance of Christ? Join us as Pastor Gary shares from 2 Corinthians.

Happy fruitful year, I'm beyond excited! In just one week I'll be debt-free, having paid off my entire $285, 000 debt and begun a new chapter of financial freedom.

What a powerful message. A simple smell! I never heard the story behind Billy Graham traced that far back. My heart jumped just listening to the tracing of his conversion to Christ. How personally moving. I listened to Billy Graham for 50 years. Hardly ever missed a broadcast. God Bless Gary! Greetings from Washington State.

As always, this is an awesome and enlightening teaching. Hallelujah!

[sharonpatriot]

Thank you for this teaching. The Holy Spirit convicted my heart about this. If people cannot see Christ in US, His children, than we're no different than the world. There would be nothing about US that would cause them to be drawn to Christ. May God continue to work in our lives so that others would see Jesus in US and gloryify our Father in heaven 💞🙏

Beautiful message. Truly makes me take stock of what people may be left to consider after having spent time with me. I want always to represent Jesus. Thank you for a message that helped as always to humble me to seek more of Him.

Pastor Gary, thank you for weaving historical context, theological understanding, and practical application together seamlessly, making God’s Word come alive for everyone. Lots of love from South Africa!

[seagrass]

So good!
Even though one only turned one, you never know that one will turn 1000. So that one is as important as the one that turned more. Like Jesus said, all parts are needed and important! 😊
