The ending of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians contains final remarks on various matters–his travel, a collection to be taken, a last charge, etc. The advantage of having this is it gives us a ‘behind the scenes’ view of what ministry looked like day to day, and so we learn for ourselves what it should look like. Four things are worth our attention: Ministry is a place where–money has ministry, team ministry is the norm, our plans bow to God’s will, and there is togetherness in the gospel.
