Conclusion:
Every church, every pastor, and every truly born again child of God will indeed face problems and heartaches within the ministry that will threaten to dishearten, discourage, and even divide that called out assembly of born again believers.
But folks, God’s Word NEVER changes, and Jesus NEVER Fails!
God’s Word Does Indeed Have All The Plans And Solutions To Having The Right Kind Of Church!
And when going through the hard times and when battling with the problems that face every church and every born again child of God, let us determine to keep our hearts humble in the saving grace of our loving God and not only be willing to stay in the Word of God and allow the Word of God to stay in us, but may we be willing to learn from those times of testing.
May we learn from each problem to see the faithfulness of our God to see us through every difficult time and every disheartening circumstance as together, both pastor and people, we keep our eyes on Jesus and we continue, as we learned in our previous lesson series from II Timothy 4:5, to “…watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
The world is watching us today, folks!
Let’s determine to let them see Christ Jesus in us and in our actions, even when we face the most difficult times of lives and personal ministry for the Lord!
