Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014

In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).
