Fusion: week of 6/3

FAMILY THEME: THE BELIEVER'S QUEST

2 Corinthians 4:1-18

Paul instructed the Corinthian believers to live in a way that allows

the gospel message to shine in spite of our own inadequacies and

the difficulties that we face. We can endure present hardship in 

light of the glory to come in eternity.

1.  We Live and Serve With Integrity, Clearly Proclaiming 

     Christ as Lord

     (2 Corinthians 4:1-6)

     We must minister with simplicity and godly sincerity to

     be effective.

 
2.  Living for and Serving Christ Can Be Challenging

     (2 Corinthians 4:7-12)

     We desperately need the power of God to be His

     ministers.

 
3.  Proper Perspective Helps Produce Endurance

     (2 Corinthians 4:13-18)

     Knowing the future God has planned should

     encourage us to serve Him now!
