     | 21,407 views

    To exist is to relate. No human being stands alone. We are defined by those people and things that we relate and by which we identify ourselves. So who are we in Christ?

    Lessons From Paul's Salutations

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2015
     | 4,731 views

    It is most amazing to me how the apostle Paul opens his letters to the churches. This sermon concentrates on the salutation used in the letter to the Colossians and provides insight into how we could or should interact with each other. Praise be to God!

    Colossians 1:1-13 “1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.” “3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord ...read more

    Give Thankfulness With A Grateful Heart; Why?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 24, 2014
     | 5,404 views

    The apostle Paul always gives thanks in his prayers and so thanksgiving needs to be a major part of our prayers. Jesus did it, and so did Paul, and look at their ministries, and the word “thanks” used here comes from the Greek word “Eucharist”.
