PASSAGE: Paul's Defense of His Ministry
MEMORY VERSE: "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" Ephesians 4:22-24
NOTES: (v.3) "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds."
(v.8) "For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it."
(v.12) "When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise."
(v.13) "We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the filed God has assigned to us, a field that reaches even to you."
(v.17) "But 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.' For it is not one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends."
ACT OF LOVE: I had to go to church early since my mom had something planned that night, and saw some of the YSC staff in the high school room. Turns out they were about to start a prayer meeting, and even though it was mainly for the staff, they invited me to join them and bless the church with prayer! :)
