Paul’s love for the church and his ambition to preach the gospel provide an example for ministers today. In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, Sam Allberry and Ray Ortlund offer encouragement for pastors to persevere in ministry and receive their calling as a gift from the Lord.
They look to the final reward of ministry—not the success of the minister but that the Lamb would receive the reward of his sufferings. And they conclude their discussion of Romans 12–15 by reflecting on how receiving the gospel transforms our relationships and ministries.
