Stimulus for Service


So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.
(2 Corinthians 5:9 – ESV)

In 2 Corinthians 5:9-10, 14, and 17-20, 21, Paul gives us four motivations for service to God.

• The judgment seat of Christ

• The love of Christ (Christ’s love for us and our love for Christ, cyclical)

• The transformations in Christ

• The work of Christ (the Gospel itself, what He did for us, our calling)

Have a terrific getaway you two!

Lord bless my good brother and sister with great joy on their vacation. Amen.

"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
