Retirement: Finishing Life the Way God Desires (2 Corinthians 4:1-18)

from Lakeview Missionary Church Sermons · host Lakeview Missionary Church

As one approaches retirement, many questions or presumptions can arise, one of which being: What is our job after retirement? Just because you retire from your employment, doesn't mean your work is done. God has a special ministry for each person, and it continues later in life. In this passage, Paul talks about our ministry and following God in suffering, what Christians have to look forward to after death, and the example of clay pots. What does that really mean? In this sermon, Pastor Christopher breaks down the four messages of the clay pot image. He shares about Paul's physical and emotional suffering and how God provides for us when we suffer. What is the purpose of affliction? What do you transition into after retirement? What does pain forge? Listen and learn more!  Thanks for listening! LAKEVIEW MISSIONARY CHURCH, 810 S.
