Do Not Lose Heart, You Have the Gospel Ministry - Transfiguration Sunday

Sermon Text 1 Corinthians 4 : 1-6

1Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not
lose heart. 2But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways.
We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by
the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to
everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3And even if our gospel is
veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. 4In their case
the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to
keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God. 5For what we proclaim is not ourselves,
but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’
sake. 6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has
shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
