TEAMWORK IN ORDER TO WIN FOR GOD // Pastor Michael Jackson | 2 Corinthians 4:1-7
**In this sermon, Pastor Michael Jackson emphasizes that winning for God requires spiritual teamwork rooted in humility, perseverance, and faithfulness to the Gospel.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:1–7, Paul reminds believers that they have received their ministry through God’s mercy, so they must not lose heart. Pastor Jackson highlights that teamwork in the body of Christ begins with understanding that ministry is not about personal glory but about serving together under God’s calling.
Key themes likely emphasized include:
Don’t Quit the Mission (v.1)
Because ministry is given by God’s mercy, believers must stay encouraged and committed. Teamwork requires endurance and shared responsibility.
Integrity in Service (v.2)
Paul rejects deceit and manipulation. Pastor Jackson likely stresses that a winning team for God must operate in truth, honesty, and transparency. The Gospel doesn’t need to be altered—it needs to be proclaimed clearly.
Spiritual Awareness (v.3–4)
Some cannot see the truth because the “god of this world” has blinded them. Teamwork involves prayer, unity, and reliance on the Holy Spirit to overcome spiritual blindness.
Christ-Centered Focus (v.5)
“We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord.” The sermon likely underscores that teamwork fails when ego leads but succeeds when Christ remains the center.
Power in Weakness (v.6–7)
Believers are “earthen vessels” carrying a priceless treasure. Pastor Jackson teaches that God intentionally uses imperfect people so that the power and glory clearly belong to Him. Effective teamwork depends on recognizing that the strength comes from God—not us.
Overall Message:
To win for God, believers must work together in unity, humility, and faithfulness to the Gospel. The victory is not about individual recognition but about collectively shining the light of Christ so that God receives the glory.
