2 Corinthians 12:11-21
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 12. We're going through the Book of 2nd Corinthians verse by verse, and we're learning a lot about what happened to Paul and his affiliation with the church in Corinth. Second Corinthians is the most personal of all his letters. Corinth was a special, special church and special people to him. And when they turned on him, it really, really hurt.

It was the second fight when Mike Tyson spit out his mouthpiece and bit a chunk of Evander's ear off during the fight. Well, the referee, he didn't know what to do. He was like, ''Nobody's ever done that before. We're boxing but you're acting like an animal.'' But when he did it the second time, bit his other ear, they called the fight and said, ''You're disqualified!'' And somebody came up with the nickname for Evander Holyfield. They said, ''He's Evander, the Real Meal, Holyfield.'' H ...
