Theme: Three crucial concerns a faithful pastor has for the church so you will understand your part in the body.
2 Corinthians 12:19-21 (NASB)
19 All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;
21 I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.
I. Being misunderstood by the church is the faithful pastor’s Plight. vs.19a-b
II. Building up the church is the faithful pastor’s Priority vs. 19c
III. Besetting sin in the church is the faithful pastor’s Problem vv. 20-21
