The Apostle Paul knew he was a steward of the good news to the Gentiles. Because of the abundant grace he received, he was obligated to carry out that ministry. But Paul went above and beyond by not accepting support from the church of Corinth. He fought through tiredness and pain to labor to support himself and Barnabas while teaching and preaching the rest of each day. Paul's examples challenge us to give our all to our individual callings and go above and beyond for the reward of sharing the blessings of those to whom we minister and a heavenly reward as well.
