  2. HYMN O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED (GHS 89)

  3. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89] 1. O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, My Master and my Friend: I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my Guide.

  4. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89] 2. O let me feel Thee near me; The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin.

  5. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89] 3. O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will; O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul.

  6. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89] 4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow My Master and my Friend. END OF HYMN

  8. LESSON 660: PAUL’S SUFFERINGS AND FAITHFULNESS IN MINISTRY • MEMORY VERSE: “Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses.” – 2 Corinthians 6:3,4 • TEXT:2 Corinthians 6:1-13

  10. SUMMARY (2) • Partnership with God in ministry (II Cor. 6:1,2; Mat. 28:20): • Gospel ministers are co-workers together with God in reconciling men to God. • God empowers His ministers to effect positive changes in their hearers. • Pure conduct and blamelessness in ministry (II Cor. 6:3,4; Titus 1:6,7): • Wrongdoing in members or ministers reproach the gospel ministry. • Ministers and members should demonstrate the gospel by their lives. • Perseverance and steadfastness in trials (II Cor. 6:4-10; 11:23-30): • Problems and challenges are part of the ministry. • Ministers and members are to endure suffering for the sake of the gospel. • Growth in Christ-like love and fellowship (II Cor. 6:11-13): • Members and ministers should relate freely with an open heart. • Members should show love to their ministers as ministers do to them.

  11. DISCUSSION

  12. QUESTION 1 What is the evidence of the grace of God in any professing believer? • Titus 2:11,12 • Romans 6:1,2 • 1 Timothy 1:12-13 • 1 John 3:10

  13. QUESTION 2 From our text, why should all believers and ministers of God live a blameless life? • 2 Cor 6:3,4 • 1 Corinthian 9:12b • Titus 2:7, 8 • Daniel 6:26 • 2 Peter 3:13-14

  14. QUESTION 3 Identify the trials and sufferings mentioned by Paul in our text and saints who went through them in Scripture • Matthew 5:11; 24:9 • Mark 13:9 • Acts 16:23-24; 7:59 • 2 Corinthians 11:25 • 2 Timothy 3:12

  15. QUESTION 4 Why must believers patiently endure sufferings for the sake of the gospel? • 1 Corinthians 15:58 • 2 Timothy 2:12 • Matthew 5:10-12

  17. CONCLUSION • It is God’s presence and power that make the gospel work possible. • Offences and wrongdoing in ministers or members hinder the gospel. • Godly living is the strongest testimony that supports the gospel. • Problems and challenges are part of our calling: they should not separate us from the love of God. Rather, we must persevere in them. • Members and ministers should relate freely with an open heart. • Members should care for their ministers in prayer, giving and obedience.

  18. HYMN I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS (GHS 30)

  19. I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS [GHS 30] 1. Upon life’s boundless ocean where mighty billows roll, I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul; When trials fierce assail me as storms are gathering o’er, I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more. I’ve anchored in Jesus, The storms of life I’ll brave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, For He hath pow’r to save, I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.

  20. I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS [GHS 30] 2. He keeps my soul from evil and gives me blessed peace, His voice hath stilled the waters and bid their tumult cease, My Pilot and Deliverer, to Him I all confide, For always when I need Him, He’s at my side. I’ve anchored in Jesus, The storms of life I’ll brave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, For He hath pow’r to save, I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.

  21. I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS [GHS 30] 3. He is my friend and Saviour, in Him my anchor’s cast, He drives away my sorrows and shields me from the blast, By faith I’m looking upward beyond life’s troubled sea, There I behold a haven prepared for me. END OF HYMN I’ve anchored in Jesus, The storms of life I’ll brave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave, I’ve anchored in Jesus, For He hath pow’r to save, I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.
