Living in Light of His Coming: Marks of An Authentic Ministry
1 Thessalonians 2:1-16
Speaker: Aaron Seeger
Authentic ministry…
1. …doesn’t back down from difficulty. (1-2)
parrhēsiazŏmai: to have courage
Our courage comes from God
2. …comes from pure motives. (3-4)
dŏkimazō: approving something as the result of careful
examination
3. …has methods above reproach. (5-12)
Great impressions can be made from a distance, but
reality can only be tested up close.
