Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson · Servants for Jesus' Sake · 23 Sep 2026 podcast

Now there's far too much there to talk about today, but there's a reason I mention this passage. voice-verified

I was privileged to have the late Eric Alexander preach at my ordination. voice-verified

He was, without doubt, one of the very finest and most eloquent preachers of his generation. voice-verified

and he chose the opening verses of Second Corinthians chapter four as his text. voice-verified

And perhaps even more than he could have imagined that night, but I'm sure not more than he hoped. voice-verified

This passage has helped shape my thinking about what it means to serve the Lord Jesus. voice-verified

You can guess why it would make an impact on a young man who was called to preach. voice-verified

But I think these words also help us all to understand and care for and pray for our own pastors, and they also include general encouragements for all of us never to lose heart. voice-verified

First, Paul stresses how he resisted the temptations that there are in the ministry to be successful. voice-verified

He knew that there were men who became successful in people's eyes by asking the question: What works? voice-verified

And as long as it works, let's do it. voice-verified

But he saw that not as a recommendation, but as a temptation. voice-verified

And it still is. voice-verified

We love success. voice-verified

And we can actually be jealous of the success of others and seek it for ourselves. voice-verified

That can be so twisted into us that I sometimes have the impression there are people who produce videos and podcasts, whose main, if not sole aim, is to pull other ministers down. voice-verified

It's all done under the guise of guarding the flock. voice-verified

But here's the giveaway. voice-verified

They never seem to build up the flock. voice-verified

They only pull down. voice-verified
