Today’s lesson covers (2 Corinthians Chapter 1:1-2) and our topic today is Finding our Identity as a person in ministry. I love this book! It has ministered to me throughout my 30+ years of full-time service to the Lord and the body of Christ. In this book Paul is a middle-aged man looking back on his life. Like all of us will, he asks this question: “Did I live well? Did I succeed in life?”

The impact of Paul’s life is something of a marvel. He was just a man, one man without much money or a big operation, yet his daily actions caused his life to have tremendous impact on other people, on whole families, on organizations and institutions and even on whole cities.Play Episode

Remember Maslow's "Five Levels" theory? In the West, we pretty much live at the most difficult level of all, self actualization, "being all that I can be in life". This, of course, is impossible because there's always a little bit more that we could be or some way we could improve, so most of us remain frustrated at our lack of perfection because, actually, this is more or less a godlike realm to live in.Play Episode

Can you imagine what you would do if you found yourself in a social situation where a senior government official was present and they turned to you and began a conversation that you realized was God’s open door for you to witness to them? In this episode of Thread we look at how the Apostle Paul handled this exact situation. He was a master spokesman for God to people of high position.Play Episode

Have you ever been stuck in a place and you wanted to move on but had no options available? Today’s Thread is about the special trial of being blocked. You know where you want to be but circumstances have hemmed you in. Sometimes we agonize over making the perfect choice that we allow our life’s progress to grind to a halt. Any action is better than inaction in many cases. You can adjust later. Watch how the Apostle Paul did it in this episode of Thread.Play Episode

Christianity is an inherently evangelizing faith. Jesus said that if we are going to follow him we must be proud, not ashamed, of him and openly share with others what he has done in our lives. We do this in a sincere desire that those we meet will find forgiveness, cleansing, liberty, community--total life transformation just as we have. So, without apology, we engage others intentionally on Christ's behalf whether it is PC or not. Some people come to Jesus easily. They've been searching and we meet them at just the right moment for them. Others require diligent effort and loving persuasion. They know they need to repent. They know its the right thing to do and that they will benefit but they linger, avoiding the price of repentance.Play Episode
