                                                    1 Corinthians 15:58 (851)

  Introduction

       A.  Remarks regarding the Lord’s work.

       B.  Hymn number 113

       C.  Let’s consider two attitudes that enable us to do the Lord’s work.  1 Cor. 15:58

   I.  The first attitude is conviction (steadfastness and immovability).

       A.  Conviction:  “ …. being found guilty.”  “ …. being persuaded or convinced.”

             2.  Positive sense.  Being persuaded and convinced.  Illustration

                  a.  The Christians in Ephesus.  Ephesians 4:1-3,11-16 (865)

II.  The second attitude is a mindset for consistency (always abounding).

       A.  Our consistent service (work for the Lord) should be from the heart.  Eph. 6:6-8 (866)

       B.  ……… should be prioritized.  Matthew 6:33 (707)

       C.  ……… should be fervent.  Romans 12:11 (838)
