Don't Be A Wimp Like Moses

Sunday we’ll continue our Mission Emphasis Month by considering the diversity of the body of Christ and the confidence diversity gives us in the gospel. Dr Bruce Lowe will be bringing the message on our sending missionaries. The text will be from 2 Corinthians 2:12-3:6 where Paul says the believers are his letter of recommendation. Letters of recommendation would add weight to Paul’s ministry. Instead of providing those letters, he argues that the universal work of the gospel, evidenced by the diverse population brought to salvation, gives more weight than any letter could ever provide. The Corinthians believers, a diverse group to be sure, were Paul’s letters of recommendation and the source of his confidence in Christ.
 
For generations the prophets foretold the New Covenant which God would enact that would fulfill the Abrahamic covenant of “blessing the nations.” Jesus, Abraham’s greatest descendant, blesses the nations through the grace of the gospel. So, come Sunday as we continue our series.
