The Marks of a God-Given Ministry

by Alistair Begg

Colossians 1:24–2:5
 (ID: 1879)

Paul’s letter to the Colossians provides a standard by which today’s church can determine the marks of a God-given ministry. Looking to Paul as a model, Alistair Begg walks us through the pattern, purpose, and pleasure of the pastor’s work. By God’s power and enabling, pastors can present the Word of God in all its fullness, encouraging unity and spiritual maturity in their congregations.
