The Life of an Ambassador for Christ

This post is the outline and sermon notes from the August 18, 2024 sermon titled, “The Life of an Ambassador for Christ” delivered by Pastor Josh Major. The Biblical text for this sermon was from 2 Corinthians 6:1-10.

We work with God by:

  1. Appeal to one another not to waste the grace of God. (verses 1-2)

  2. Put no obstacles in anyone’s way. (verses 3-10)

    • By our patience in affliction (verses 4-5)

    • By our purity in conduct and speech (verses 6-7)

    • By our paradoxical existence in the world. (verses 8-10)

Questions for Application:

Have you benefited from the grace of God who came to your rescue when you were down and out in your sin?

Have you benefited from His reconciling ministry through His son Jesus who died for you?

Do you think others around you would benefit from the same grace, the same ministry of reconciliation?

What obstacles are you most tempted to put in someone’s way?

Remember: to some, the Gospel will be sweet and to others, it will be sour. Keep going. Don’t quit being the aroma of Christ to those around you.

Here at Anchor Point Church in Duluth, we practice expository preaching. Expository preaching is a style of preaching that involves explaining and interpreting a specific passage of Scripture in a detailed and systematic manner. Our pastors endeavor to be faithful in drawing out the meaning of the text, often going verse by verse, and then applying its principles to the lives of the listeners. The goal is to faithfully communicate the original intent of the biblical authors, ensuring that the congregation understands the message within its proper context. Please join us on Sunday morning!
