Slide 12 I wish wed a known its worth sooner. Slide 13 I wish theyd a threw it in the New River sometimes. Annie Grace Jones Slide 14 2 Corinthians 4 1 Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, were not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times. 5 Remember, our Message is not about ourselves; were proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Master. Slide 15 2 Corinthians 4 6 It started when God said, Light up the darkness! and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful. Slide 16 2 Corinthians 4 7 If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. Thats to prevent anyone from confusing Gods incomparable power with us. Slide 17 2 Corinthians 4 8 Weve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but were not demoralized; were not sure what to do, 9 but we know that God knows what to do; weve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasnt left our side; weve been thrown down, but we havent broken. Slide 18 2 Corinthians 4 16 So were not giving up. How could we? Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. Slide 19
