Thessalonica And Berea Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 25, 2005

Paul centres his message on the historic Jesus, arguing from Scripture that he’s the Messiah. He persuades people by careful argument, opening the Scriptures to allow people to discover the truth for themselves. And he works as a leader of a team, includi

It’s interesting that we think of Paul as someone who stands out on his own. He’s the great apostle to the Gentiles, a man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yet in reality he was a man who loved to work as part of a team. He started out with Barnabas, then joined up with Silas, then he ...read more

Where is wisdom found? Are we mining for it? It can’t be found where the riches of the world are found, in the earth. It can only be found in fearing God.

SEARCHING FOR WISDOM By Pastor Jim May Wisdom – What is it and how can you get more of it? It is defined in one dictionary as being “The ability to apply, or use correctly, all knowledge gained, every experience of life, and all understanding born of knowledge and experience, along with insight. ...read more
