Today we start a Bible study series through Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians. This is a candid and personal letter from Paul to a church that he started years before. We covered his 1st letter to the church in Corinth previously where he set them going on the right path rather than letting them go astray — as a good pastor should.
Now, they were questioning Paul’s authority. They were asking, “Who are you to tell us how to live?!” Paul then explains what it means to be a servant — or minister — or ambassador of Jesus Christ.
Followers of Jesus are called — asked by God — to be ministers — a fellow worker. For instance, this is my ministry — this blog and podcast. God is using the talents and skills He gave me to further His Kingdom. In church, I run Facebook Live during the 2nd service each Sunday. In a few weeks, I’ll start helping to organize the rebuilding of our food pantry.
Remember, ministry — serving — is never so that we can be saved, but we are saved by God’s free gift of grace so that we can be ministers. Let’s dig in…

If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
