     | 12,126 views

    Prior to salvation, Paul lived a life of prestige, authority, and power. Following salvation, he learned much he once considered gain was actually loss. As he grew in grace, he realized the abundance available in Christ. He lost much, yet he gained more.

    Growing in Grace Philippians 3: 7-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the verses we considered in our last study. In order to fully understand what Paul has taught in our text, we must look at this passage in light of its context. Previously Paul had counseled believers regarding their ...read more

    Jesus used the tiny mustard seed as a comparison to the Kingdom of God. Although it was small, it had potential to become great. The church would start very small, but soon make a significant and eternal impact on humanity.

    Little is Much Mark 4: 30-34 As we continue in Mark, we come to the fourth and final parable Jesus revealed to His disciples during this moment of teaching. Due to the resistance and unbelief of many, Jesus chose to teach primarily in parables. Those who genuinely sought truth would receive it, ...read more

    To know is to obey.

    “What we don’t know won’t hurt us.” Have we ever heard or said those words? It’s an idiomatic expression used to justify denying or concealing an issue. “If you do not know about a problem or a misdeed, you will not be able to make yourself unhappy by worrying ...read more
