Bouncing Back from Ministry Setbacks

Dr. Filbert Martin, Class Instructor

Acts 14:19-20 (TLB), “Yet only a few days later, some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and turned the crowds into a murderous mob that stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, apparently dead. But as the believes stood around him, he got up and went back into the city! The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

These verses states some of the negativity that the apostle encountered on his first missionary journey. We will also on our assignments experience some setbacks. No believer is every exempt from trials, troubles and tribulations as they seek to advance the kingdom of God. Even Jesus, the example for all Christians, experienced suffering as he ministered to others.

This class will provide tips and processes for overcoming challenges on assigned ministries. There will always be setbacks but we serve a God that specializes in successful comebacks.
