It is a revealing window into the tumult of Paul’s relationship with this congregation that shows Paul’s concern for the spiritual welfare of a local church. Although he loved the Corinthians dearly and labored for them intensely, their relationship was marked by the tensions and challenges that are acutely familiar to church leaders today: unclear expectations, comparison to other pastors, criticisms of ministry style, vocational stresses, disputes over money, and more. Reuben Bredenhof expertly unpacks these complexities and reveals Paul’s vision for Christ-shaped gospel ministry—a vision that can help you, too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction: Searching for a Model of Ministry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServing under Pressure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding a Ministerial Identity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePastoring Like a Father\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreaching for the Glory of Christ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFacing a Barrage of Criticism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandling Money Wisely\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeing a Willing Sufferer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking with Purpose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfterword: Traveling from Corinth to Today\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reformation Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48387398992101,"sku":"K615","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/1014\/5253\/files\/Weak-Pastor-front__66188.jpg?v=1771623985","url":"https:\/\/www.heritageresources.ca\/products\/weak-pastor-strong-christbredenhof","provider":"Heritage Resources ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
