- 1:2-10 - The Commendation or Good Report
- 2:3-4 - We are entrusted with the Gospel
- We have been approved by God
- We have been entrusted with the Gospel
- We answer only to God (examined by God)
- 2:5-8 - A Mother is Our Greatest Influence
- We do not:
- Use flattering speech
- seek to gain profit (greedy)
- seek glory
- But we are gentle as a nursing mother:
- Having fond affection
- Sharing the gospel
- Sharing our lives
- Because:
- You became dear to us
- 2:9-12 - A Father is the Greatest source of Encouragement
- Live a godly, spirit-filled life to be an example by:
- Working hard
- Proclaiming the Gospel
- Being devout, upright and blameless
- But also:
- Exhorting
- Encouraging
- Imploring
- So that:
- You would walk in a manner worthy of the God that calls you
- The End Result
- For this reason:
- We thank God for your salvation
- You accepted it as the word of God not man
- 1:2-10
As I said, it is a lot to fit into 20 minutes, but God will get the message across. Any thoughts?
