The Spiritual Gift of Vulnerability

Because Jesus uses the Christians trials to minister to his people about Him, we should share our lives with vulnerability and transparency.

Jesus opens doors for us so that His Word might flourish

2 Corinthians 2:12–13 ESV

12 When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord, 13 my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

Share your life Even the Tough Stuff

Jesus puts our lives on display that His Word might flourish

2 Corinthians 2:14–16 ESV

14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

Share your life EVEN the tough stuff.

Jesus sends us not as salespeople but as soulspeople that His Word might flourish.

2 Corinthians 2:17 NLT

17 You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

Share your life EVEN the tough stuff.
