Paul and his Influence
Teaching:
Christ chose us to be His instruments.
Christ made us His ambassadors.
Christ calls us to suffer for His name.
Application:
Being a modern-day Paul:
Set our minds for greater work.
Start by being Christ’s ambassador.
Suffer for Christ for advancing the Kingdom.
Discussion:
How can we prepare ourselves for greater work?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for using Paul to expound on the belief and shape the practice of Christianity throughout history. Indeed, You can do great things even in the lives of Your former enemies—like the Apostle Paul. So I pray that You will also use me as Your ambassador. Use me to influence my family members, friends, and all the people around me. Prepare me to serve You, even to the point of suffering for Jesus. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!
