Am I part of the problem, or am I part of the solution? Is my life relevant? And when it really gets hard we ask the deepest ...read more

    Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their commitment in the midst of opposition, but unfortunately, He had to address their lack of passion for Him. They were a busy church, but they had lost their zeal for the Lord.

    Preaching From Philippians #1

     | 2,130 views

    In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

    For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more
