The Marks of Genuine Ministry

Are You Looking For These Marks?

In 1 Thessalonians 2, the Apostle Paul engages in a curious section in which he defends … himself. Why is this included in our Bibles? On one hand, because in the face of intense opposition, his readers were tempted to doubt that Paul’s ministry and thus, his Gospel and their salvation were bogus. On the other hand, it’s there because it gives us an insight into what genuine ministry from God looks like. In this week’s sermon, Jeff Schlieder identified multiple marks of a genuine ministry that you should look for in your leaders. You should encourage and pray for these marks in our church’s future leaders. When all is said and done, these marks are ultimately a reflection of the Head of the Church Himself - Christ our Lord.
