The Cost of Ministry – Colossians 1:23-27

Paul’s Commitment to Ministry

He suffered and we should expect to as well.

The Holy Spirit teaches, trains and rebukes us as we mature in Christ.

The Struggles:

  • Friendly Fire Pain
  • Mob Dangers
  • Deserted
  • Loneliness
  • Financial Struggles
  • Unfair Situations
  • Bearing Burdens
  • Inadequacy

How did Paul keep going?

  • He never got over the wonder of serving
  • He accepted his weakness as God’s opportunity
  • He really wanted to finish well
