About this sermon
There are many ways that the apostle Paul is a great model for ministry. But of all the ways that Paul’s example instructs us, the greatest and most powerful pattern is his love for the church. Ministry is nothing if it’s not a labor of love. It is a labor that expresses love for God, but it is also a labor that expresses a God-given love for people. It is a God-given love for people that begins with God, is informed by God, is sustained by God, and that aims to please God. There are places in this letter where Paul literally pleads with these people on behalf of their own well-being. This is one of those places. As we read this, I not only want us to examine ourselves individually, I want us to examine ourselves congregationally. Am I loving the church the way that the Holy Spirit sets Paul’s example before us? Are we loving each other in this church by a true biblical standard? I don’t want us just to take inventory, I want us to do business with God today. I want us to confess sin, and take action on what our God reveals to us in His Word. What do we see in Paul’s love for this church that is Christlike, and therefore, supernatural in nature?
