Brian Bill January 4-5, 2025 This past week, ABC News ran a post with the same headline twice within five days, using a different image of an empty church each time: “Churches Fight to Stay Open as Attendance Dwindles.” It’s as if the editors ...read more

    Philippi was a tough place to start a mission - wrong type of people, wrong area, wrong timing! But it seems that God doesn’t need straightforward circumstances in or...

    Our prayers often look ineffective, but they are like dripping water on the rock of our heart and the stony hearts of other people for whom we pray.

    Tuesday of the 21st Week in Course 2019 St. Monica St. Luke tells us in the sixteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles that on his second missionary journey, St. Paul went to familiar communities in Anatolia–Asia Minor–and intended to evangelize all of that huge area.

     | 2,516 views

    Jude was setting out the points of our common salvation, when the Holy Spirit urged on him the importance and urgency to defend that salvation. That overtook him, and he asked the readers to “contend earnestly” for the faith. He appealed to them to do that.

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 1:10-24 - Message 3 – Paul Resorts To Personal Testimony Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 3, 2023
     | 1,327 views

    Those engaged in ministry must not be men pleasers or compromise the gospel through fear or laziness. Preach the true gospel of grace as honest ministers. Doctrinal stability must be maintained. Paul had to restate the gospel to the Galatians using his own personal testimony.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 1:10-24 - MESSAGE 3 – PAUL RESORTS TO PERSONAL TESTIMONY We are going to continue our meditation in this first chapter of Galatians. Last time we looked at reason why Galatians was written, looked at the people, and looked at the importance of the purity of the ...read more

    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
