Luke 13:31-35 We’re back in Luke’s gospel today, so I’d invite you to turn in your Bibles to the 13th chapter of Luke and the final verses of the chapter, Luke 13:31 to 35.

The Glory of Gospel Ministry
2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Find your way to 2 Corinthians 4:1. Paul’s second epistle to the Corinthians is really the most autobiographical of all his epistles. That letter reveals Paul’s deep affection for the Corinthians. It gives us insight into what he suffered as an apostle, as Jesus promised him. And we see in the suffering and in the trial and affliction, we see what’s revealed is the heart of this apostle. And you can see the work of grace of…
