IS IT WORTH IT?
I Thessalonians 2:1-7

IS IT IS WORTH IT – ABSOLUTELY YES:

1. Because he understood the measuer of success
Six Measures of Success
a. Live in the Word
b. Spend time with God
c. Pray in faith
d. Fellowship with believers
e. Witness to the world
f. Serve others
2. Because he understood the making of strength
3. Because he understood the method of delivery
a. It was dictated by accountability to God
b. It was driven by compassion for people
c. It was designed by purpose to present
4. Because he understood the motive behind the appeal

They accused him of error, impure motives, and clever tactics.

Rather, we have been entrusted with God’s gospel we speak as men approved by God in:
…the message we present
…the presentation with which we present
…the integrity with which we present
