  2. I would like to give you a preview of our Sunday morning service

  3. Baptist Church.

  4. We're going to be continuing our sermon series in two corinthians.

  5. We will be in two corinthians, chapter six.

  6. And we're going to start in verse number three.

  7. We're going to see what Paul says through the inspiration of scripture

  8. Now, all of us are called to be ministers.

  9. All of us are called to be ambassadors, as we saw in chapter

  10. five.

  11. And as ministers of the gospel, we have a message to preach

  12. to the world.

  13. We have a message to display to the world.

  14. And so anytime we do something for God, we are called to be successful.

  15. But the true test is what are we defining success as?

  16. Is success, popularity?

  17. Well, this passage of scripture is going to tell us, no,

  18. No, the Bible says that there is going to be pain, there's going

  19. to be struggles.

  20. And so what Paul is going to describe here in this passage is

  21. And how can we be faithful?

  22. Well, we can be faithful through having patience or endurance.

  23. And so we're going to look at this week what it means to be a Christian

  24. to present ourselves faithful to God

  25. Sometimes it's not easy to exercise endurance.

  26. It's not easy to be patient.

  27. But the Bible says that that is something that we must have in

  28. God calls us to exercise that patience,

  29. to that endurance, so that we can keep

  30. So I encourage you to come out and learn from scripture what it

  31. here today.

  32. So I'll be praying for you, hope to see you this weekend.

  33. If you're not able to be there in person, we will be replaying this

  34. And also we'll be live streaming on YouTube and on Facebook.
