‘True Gospel Presentation.’
1 Corinthians 2:3-5.
a) 1 Corinthians 2:3. Apostle Paul had no self confidence or rude boldness. He came to preach the Gospel in Corinth in:-
1- Weakness.
2- Timidity.
3- Trembling.
b) 1 Corinthians 2:4. Paul’s Message and Preaching were very plain.
c) 1 Corinthians 2:4. Paul did not use clever and persuasive speeches.
d) 1 Corinthians 2:4. Paul ministered in demonstration of the Holy Spirit and Power.
e) 1 Corinthians 2:5. Paul wanted them not to trust in human wisdom but in the power of God.

Chris.
The ultimate goal of every True Believer must surely be to gain Christ. For a long time I have been aware of, and I have disapproved of, Churches being used for money lending and for political means. I believe firmly that that Church exists only for the Glory of God and the Salvation of human beings and should not exist for any other purpose.
