Lesson 10 Overview

August 29: Sabbath Afternoon – Overview

Summary

• Authentic Christian ministry is not measured only by what we say or do, but by how Christ is seen working through our lives.
• Paul’s experience shows that suffering, weakness, and difficulties do not mean that God has abandoned His servants.
• Even in times of trouble, the hope of resurrection gives us courage to keep trusting God and serving others.
• As Christ reconciles us to God, He also calls us to share that message of reconciliation and live a life of holiness.
• But what happens when our correction causes sorrow? This week reveals how godly sorrow can lead to repentance, restoration, and joy.

Tuesday

• We will learn why reconciliation is at the heart of Christian ministry, and how those who have been made new in Christ become His ambassadors to others.

Wednesday

Thursday

Closing Thought
