Paul’s Letters Expand! 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Romans Already Written: Galatians 1 & 2 Thessalonians

Warnings & Commitments We are fools for Christ, we are weak, we are dishonored, we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless, we work hard with our own hands. When cursed, we bless; persecuted, we endure; slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth! 1 Corinthians 4:10-13

Warnings & Commitments 1.We endanger ourselves every hour! 2.I die everyday! 3.I fought wild beasts! 1 Corinthians 15:30-32

Warnings & Commitments 1.We suffered hardships! 2.We were under great pressure! 3.We despaired of our lives! 4.We felt the sentence of death! But, we set our hope on God! 2 Corinthians 1:8-11

Warnings & Commitments We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned: struck down, but not destroyed. We who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body! 2 Corinthians 4:8-11

Warnings & Commitments As servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger. 2 Corinthians 6:4-5

Warnings & Commitments I worked much harder; In prison more; Flogged more; Exposed to death; Whippings 5x; Beatings 3x; stoned 1x; shipwrecked 3x; 24 hrs. sea; Constantly on the move; in danger 8x; labored & toiled; often cold, gone w/o sleep, food, water & clothing! 2 Corinthians 11:23-27

Warnings & Commitments My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness! 1.I will boast about weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me! 2.I delight in weaknesses, for when I am weak, then I am strong! 2 Corinthians 12:9-12

The Cost of Ministry Acts 20: :16

Warnings & Commitments 1.Prison & hardships coming! My life is worth nothing to me! I must finish the race! I must complete the task! Acts 20: Savage wolves will come! So be on your guard! I commit you to God… Acts 20:29-32

Warnings & Commitments 1.They urged Paul not to go! But we continued on! Acts 21:4-6 2.Bound & given to Gentiles! I am ready to be bound! I am ready to die! The Lord’s will be done! Acts 21:10-14

Life Lessons Even when warned of hardships & trials, church growth, and even spiritual growth, came through costly commitments!
