What Does a Kingdom Worker Do?

The Practices of the Kingdom Worker

1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Intro: 

Let’s read all about it from our text in…

1 Corinthians 4 1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ & stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. 3 But w/me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness & reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.
