What gave Paul such great gospel courage? What gives believers the same courage today? In this sermon we discover that Paul’s gospel courage cane from Paul’s gospel conviction. He knew where he was going and he knew who he wanted to please.
The incentive for this ministry
2 Corinthians 5:6-11
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.
