Two ministries Looks good Sounds good Very spiritual Great techniques Successful Glorifies the ministers Suffering now Appears weak Future glory Glorifies Jesus Commended by Jesus

Christian ministry is spiritual & powerful v1-6 meekness not weakness Strength under control A battle to change lives A ministry of prayer, changed lives & the Gospel

Christian ministry is constructive & consistent v7-11 Paul’s record is of building churches Paul’s words will be matched by his deeds A ministry of building marked by consistent words & actions

Christian ministry is confident in Christ alone v12-18 They trespass, they are poachers & parasites Paul wants Corinthian growth to further Gospel progress What next for St John’s as we seek to make Jesus better known ?

We will continue to be a church: Fighting with spiritual weapons of changed lives, prayer and the Gospel That in everything we see Jesus glorified Longing to be those the Lord commends
