    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 17, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,274 views

    Our loyalty to Christ and other believers should supersede all other factors. We should receive and support every other Christian regardless of race, denomination, political party, or any other affiliation. This message expounds Philippians 4:10-23.

    For the last two messages we have addressed Paul’s expression of gratitude for the gift the Philippians had sent him. That is found in Philippians 4:10-20. There we discovered a wealth of revelation that has filled our hearts with peace and confidence. Those two previous messages focused on three ...read more

    HoHum: A famous sportscaster said that, for him, the start of the Indianapolis 500 was the most spectacular event in sports. To see those turbocharged automobiles roaring around Turn 4 and zooming across the starting line at 200 miles an hour to start the world’s most famous race is an incredible ...read more

    Nuestra lealtad a Cristo y a los demás creyentes debe prevalecer sobre todos los demás factores. Debemos recibir y apoyar a todos los demás cristianos, independientemente de su raza, denominación, partido político o cualquier otra afiliación.

    En los dos últimos mensajes hemos abordado la expresión de gratitud de Pablo por el regalo que los filipenses le habían enviado. Se encuentra en Filipenses 4:10-20. Allí descubrimos una riqueza de revelación que ha llenado nuestros corazones de paz y confianza. Los dos ...read more

    This passage details the numerous efforts the Paul made to get the Corinthians back on track and the harsh reality that some churches are just a mess.

    - Maybe start with the story of Pastor Mark and church “J.” THE SITUATION FOR THIS MESSED-UP CHURCH: 1. Paul handled his ministry there with integrity. - 2 Corinthians 12:11-12, 17-19. 2. Paul sacrificed for them. - 2 Corinthians 12:13, 14b, 15-16. 3. This was not the first time he’d tried ...read more

    Have you ever reached a point where you said to yourself: “Lord, I’ve done all I know how to do—at home, in the marriage, in the ministry, and in my life—and it still seems like nobody cares?”

For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing. 12The signs of a true apostle were ...read more

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Paradise, California. Lahaina, Hawaii. What comes to mind when I mention those two towns? What do they have in common? Yes, wildfire devastation. Firestorms that destroyed nearly the whole towns. I think most of us remember the terrifying and incredibly speedy devastation that each of these ...read more

    God wants us to know weakness, so that glory is given to him and not to ourselves because in our weakness God’s grace shines.

    Are you satisfied with your life? What I mean is this: Are you content? Are you happy with what you have been given? Or are you the kind of person who is constantly searching – moving from one activity under heaven to another? It is necessary for us to ask such searching questions because, ...read more

    Where do you have the hardest time standing up for Jesus? In your weakest point, God offers grace and the strength of his power.

    2 Corinthians 12 As we are nearing the end of this letter to the Corinthians we see another golden principle of the Christian faith. Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient.” And, “My power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul was granted something rare. He saw and heard heavenly, inexpressible ...read more

    Apparently the false teachers in Corinth were suggesting that Paul’s unwillingness to accept support from the church was simply a coverup. They thought that he really had a love for money, and the offering he claimed to be taking for the suffering saints

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: H. L. Gee somewhere tells of a tramp who came begging to a good woman’s door. She went to get something to give him and found that she had no change in the house. She went to him and said, “I have not a penny of small change. I need a loaf of bread. Here is a pound ...read more
