Another Word About Last Words Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Jan 21, 2008

Strengthen in Christ

Paul closes his letter with a liturgical doxology that easily lends itself to a formal worship setting.

In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more
