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 4

THIS IS PAUL

Paul’s only human with limitations like the rest of us.

He doesn’t let that get him down.

He’s not promoting himself but God.

If he achieves anything, it’s because God is at work in him.

BE LIKE PAUL

VERSE OF THE DAY: 

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6
