INTRODUCTION: We all need role models in the faith. In 1 Corinthians 4:16, Paul says ‘Therefore I urge you to imitate me.’  Now Paul may not seem the obvious choice as a role model. Paul’s had a bad press for some of the things he’s said, statements that have been taken out of context and used to promote prejudice and condemnation. However, Paul’s passion for the good news of the Jesus story can be an inspiration to us all and so this month, we’re using the ‘Be like Bob’ meme that went viral on Facebook last year as a framework for our journey through 2 Corinthians.

Be like Paul.

INSPIRATION: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

THIS IS PAUL

Paul has always been religious.

But in Jesus, he’s found a new way, a new truth, a new life.

He approaches God with a new hope, a new confidence, a new freedom.

BE LIKE PAUL

VERSE OF THE DAY: 

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18
