Mission to Corinth: I have many people in this city
As the gospel enters difficult places there is always a collision of values, and there is usually fruit. That was true in each strategic city Paul entered on his second missionary journey (Philippi, Athens, Corinth and Ephesus). Corinth was one of the most difficult places Paul had ever been. After a short time of ministry there he was overwhelmed and almost ready to give up. He had never encountered anything so difficult. Yet in the midst of his difficulty, God gave him encouragement to keep going, just as He does for us today.

Part 2: Living a Life of Gospel Intentionality
Gospel intentionality is a lifestyle that is seeking every opportunity to proclaim the gospel with actions and words, to both believers and unbelievers. It is a life that is not compartmentalized into religious activities and non-religious activities but instead sees everything as an opportunity to proclaim the gospel. This includes hobbies, home, work, school and the church. A gospel intentional person is a repentant person who recognizes his or her own pressing need for the gospel. In the following message, we further explore the book of Mark to see how Jesus both lived and taught a life of gospel intentionality.

We need to ask ourselves some serious questions: "What will I use my life for?" & "What will I live for?"

We Study So We Don't Forget
Have we forgotten to Whom it is we belong? Paul wrote to "the church" in Thessalonica for a variety of reasons. It could be summarized, as a whole, as a call to "blameless living." In 1:1 and 5:23-28 Paul's focus is on redirecting the Thessalonian Christians to remember they belong to God, they are not alone in their faith, and unity is essential in the body of Christ.
