    God directed Paul to Philippi to preach the gospel. Acts 16 reveals both the open hearted reception and the opposition he faced. We should expect the same when we share Christ today.

    When God opens hearts he comes into them to dwell. Acts 16 gives us the history of how the gospel was planted in Philippi, how God opened their hearts to hear and obey the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This lesson continues our introduction to the letter of Philippians. Let's read ...read more

    This lesson serves to demystify Baptism, by examining What it is and Why we are Baptized

    There has been much discussion over what is baptism and who is it for and what is it for. Baptism is actually the fifth step in becoming a Christian. To review: We must first hear the word. HEARING includes receiving the word, not just listening to the nouns and verbs. We gain FAITH by listening ...read more
