Episode 602: 1 Corinthians 16 Part 4 Show Your Appreciation

How often do we tell those who serve in the church how much we appreciate them? Paul goes out of his way at the end of chapter 16 to point out three men that are from the church at Corinth who work very hard in the kingdom of God. Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come from Corinth to help Paul with the work God is doing at Ephesus. Paul writes the church in Corinth telling them, “They have been providing the help you weren’t here to give me. 18 They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.” This is a great testament to the hearts of these three men and their service to God in His kingdom. May we grateful for those who serve in the church and may we express our appreciation to them often!
