A Ministry That Is Not a Failure

According to 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6, Paul's ministry to the church at Thessalonica was not a failure because he -

  • ministered with God's help
  • told God's gospel
  • did it all for God's pleasure

It would have been a failure if he had -

  • made his appeal based on error and impure motives
  • flattered people as a mask for greed
  • labored for man's pleasure
