We Need To View Ministry Like Paul, Part 2

Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God.
(Colossians 1:25 NASB)

We Need To View Ministry Like Paul, Part 1

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions. (Colossians 1:24 NASB)

We live in a day where too many churches want things to be the way that they want it to be and leave no room for God to move.
