"Our Ambition..."

“Our Ambition…”

Blessings folk!

What is your ambition?

Often, within the organizational church, the question is asked “what is the vision?”

Paul gave a succinct declaration.
May it be ours.

2Co 5:9
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.


Paul wanted to please the Lord.
That should be our ambition.

Not to do “great things for the Lord”.
But, to please Him.
To walk in obedience.

The Lord is not consumed with all we “do for Him”.
He does desire obedience.

Hos 6:6
For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.


Paul desired to please the Lord “whether at home or absent”.
Whether with the Lord…at home.
Whether absent…in this body.

Do this simple thing.

Make it your ambition to be pleasing to the Lord.
