Gifted to Serve

DAY 16 OF 25

Paul’s life was difficult, and his ministry did not always appear successful. In today’s passage, we are introduced to the men who were critical of Paul’s ministry. The great philosophers and teachers were the cultural influencers of the day. Corinth was embedded in the Greek culture that respected and lauded a great orator, and if the people respected the man’s speaking ability, they also respected his message. Paul addressed the problems these men were causing to both his ministry and the church's mission.

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8).
