     | 5,962 views

    God calls us to radically change our mindset, to be like-minded, humble-minded, and Christ-minded. As we follow Jesus, we learn to value others above ourselves and to truly live the way we were meant to live, so a watching world will take note.

    Philippians 2:1-11 Change your Mind! Sometimes people easily change their mind. I heard about a guy who e-mailed his ex. He said, My dearest Susan, I’ve been so desolate ever since I broke off our engagement. Simply devastated. Won’t you PLEASE consider coming back to me? You hold a place in my ...read more

Thousands had been saved by the grace of God and the church’s influence was spreading. Such growth created much concern for the religious ...read more
