Brother Jerome shows how Paul’s unwavering faith in Christ helped him push through hardships, while Peter encouraged early Christians to stay strong by keeping their focus on Christ’s return. Faith acts like a shield, protecting us from the enemy’s lies and giving us the endurance to stand firm. Just like gold is refined in fire, trials strengthen and purify our faith, preparing us for the glory that’s coming. When we trust in God’s promises, we can stand firm, knowing our faith will be rewarded.

The meaning is probably that the church will be able to propagate the gospel throughout the world, but when their work is finished, the antichristian world powers will persecute the church and silence it by driving it underground.

Rather, He has sovereignly chose some, but not all. His next answer, is because of Israel's failure. Israel sought righteousness by works, stumbled over Jesus Christ, had a zeal for God that was not according to knowledge, and refused to submit to God's righteousness.

In this message, we focus on the lost sheep and the lost coin, and see some fascinating truths - the total inability of the sinner, the sovereign grace displayed in our salvation, and the joy of God in His work of redemption. In this entire chapter Jesus is showing the scribes and Pharisees the Father's heart of joy in seeking and saving the lost, which was diametrically opposed to their own heart which avoided contact with sinners at all costs.

Unlike most of us, Jesus was not impressed by numbers of people. Instead, when large crowds followed Him, He sifted them, and thinned the ranks. He did this by telling them the Cost of Radical Discipleship - they must give up the people, comforts, and things that were most dear to them in order to follow Him. Then Jesus enforced this teaching by giving them three illustrations of the Dangers of Rashly Embracing Discipleship. Those dangers are Ridicule, Destruction, and Uselessness.

The gospel was Paul's life. As Paul wrote 2 Timothy 1:8-11, he couldn't mention the gospel without taking a little digression to open it up, showing us that it is a gospel that saves. This salvation was applied by an effectual call, granted on the basis of grace, planned before time began, accomplished by the death of Christ, and results in abolishing everlasting death for all God's people!

To combat this spirit of pride and arrogance in the Church of Corinth, Paul compares their estimate of themselves with his estimate of himself and the other apostles. They considered themselves to be kings. He considers himself to be scum. What do you consider yourself to be?
