Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:1-18

Life as a Woolies paper bag.

Big idea: Don’t lose heart, 4:1 and 4:16.

5x Thoughtful reasons not to: 

1. God gives us a ministry of mercy

2 Corinthians 4:1-2

2. It’s not about us

2 Corinthians 4:3-6

3. Our weakness is part of God’s plan

2 Corinthians 4:7-12

4. A future of thankfulness

2 Corinthians 4:13-15

5. Perspective shapes response

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

This week…

• Heart: “Father God, help me to fix my eyes on Jesus in all my troubles and to long for the hope of the resurrection in a world of suffering.”
• Head: Spend a few moments reflecting over how God’s glory can be seen in your life, the perspective, and the hope this could bring to you and others.
• Hands: How might you use your body to show off God’s glory this week?
