Are you finding yourself more and more hungry for the knowledge and relationship with Jesus

that is yours through his death, his burial, and his resurrection?

Friends, that's what we're going to be talking about today, because when we're not hungry like that,

our timidity about that issue forms a hardened mind.

This is the morning mindset.

We're going to be getting our minds aligned with the truth of God's word in 2 Corinthians chapter 3,

verses 12 through 14.

So get out your Bibles.

We will be there in just a moment.

I want to remind you at January 1st of this year, just a few days ago, we launched a brand new podcast called The Evening Mindset. It's similar to what I'm doing right now, but not really. It's different. It's designed to help you settle down at the end of the day by putting your mind back on God's

truth. You can find out more by going to evening mindset.com.

All right, friends, today as we dig into Second Convenience 3, 12 through 14, we need God's

help, so let's pray together. Our God, open our minds to understand your mind about this issue of timidity and boldness

and exactly where we should aim our boldness that our minds will grow in your truth.

We ask it in Jesus' name, amen.

Okay, friends, in 2nd Corinthians, Paul has been describing to the believers in this town

called Corinth what great truths, what great blessings they have received through becoming

believers in Jesus Christ.

And one thing in particular, he has just mentioned in this context, is hope.

They have a hope beyond this life and a hope beyond the grave.

And he says here in verse 12, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

Not like Moses.
