WE HAVE A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his message in all its fullness to you Gentiles.
WE HAVE A SIMPLE MESSAGE

WE HAVE AWESOME HOPE
And Because CHRIST LIVES IN YOU there IS the HOPE of glory
WE HAVE A MISSION

So we (1) tell others about Christ, (2) warning everyone and (3) teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us.

WE HAVE MIGHTY POWER

That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.
