“Pastor your preaching is
maximum of 5 minutes only
because we are excited to watch

 Within my heart I was sad, You are
spending hours for sports yet the
word of God was just five minutes.
I think it’s shameful before God

the natural gold in his life before he
pursue the spiritual Gold.
• He had a good job being a lawyer,

Wealth, and others.

Gold

33. • The genuine gold that is worthy to
pursue is not the natural gold.

medal you get after winning the game.
• The true gold that apostle Paul was
referring from this text was the upward
call of God (Spiritual Gold).
• Fulfilling His purpose and intention of
this fellowship is more worth in the eyes
of God, more than on the natural gold..
• Fame and Trophy can be lost, but you
will never lost Jesus.
• Paul secured it by forgetting what lies
behind (wrong perception) and reach
forward to the true gold..

consider the price. Instead
value the fellowship and the
bonding with your fellow
brethren in Christ.

others will know Christ through
your testimony how you play

like a gold that others will glorify
