Sermons

Last week we began looking at Paul’s list of things which provide the recommendation of his life and ministry. The first three items after patience were focused on things that were not specifically directed at Paul or his ministry, but which were and are a fundamental part of just living life as human beings. We all face the struggles and necessities that he was describing, but how Paul dealt with them was the thing that showed his relationship with God. The list continues into some that are very much tied to both his ministry and his message and which come from specific groups or individuals and are directed at him personally.
