OUTLINE:

The Ministry
A minister's job is to minister. For example, Gal. 4:16 So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? or, 2Ti 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

The Minister
I’m here because I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Rom 2:16
on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

Learn to live a life of gratitude – as this goes, so goes your sanctification.
1Th 5:16-24

Your Sanctification
The remedy to your problems is simple. It’s the Word. Learn to live a life of gratitude, knowing that God has the power to transform you (Ro 12:1-3; 1Th 2:13; 5:16-24).

“performs its work in you”
The Word of God is meant to sanctify you, make you holy, separated for God's good purposes in time (aka Experiential/Progressive Sanctification). If it's NOT working in you/your life, then you lack faith in it. You faith's object must be the Word.

Conviction
You might ask yourself, "Well, how do I know for sure if I have faith in the Word?" Easy, you are obedient to it. (ref: Php 2:12-13)

“much more in my absence”
Integrity functions the exact same way whether the authority is present or not. It shouldn’t matter whether you’re in church or your Bible is opened before you, your actions ought to be the same.

Conviction
You might ask yourself, "Well, how do I know for sure if I have faith in the Word?" Easy, you are obedient to it. (ref: Php 2:12-13)

Sanctification
Any time there’s godly “movement” in our lives, under the power of the Word and the Spirit, we may rightly say that it is a part of our sanctification.
