    Why Paul Wanted To Send Timothy

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 25, 2025
     | 237 views

    The Apostle Paul says that most people—even all except Timothy—are only concerned with their own affairs, not with the interests of Christ. The work of Christ is, in fact, to truly love and care for fellow believers.

    Why Paul Wanted to Send Timothy Philippians 2:19–24 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus ...read more

    Total Surrender - The Transformation Of Saul To Paul

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jul 5, 2024
     | 1,115 views

    Have you ever wondered what "Total Surrender" looks like? Through the Saul-Paul story, we learn that true surrender involves giving up control and submitting our will, thoughts, desires, and ambitions to God.

    Acts 9:1-19 Total surrender is a foundational aspect of our spiritual journey. It requires us to fully trust in God and align our hearts, desires, thoughts, and beliefs with His will. This process is not easy, but the rewards are immeasurable. One powerful example of complete surrender can be seen ...read more

    Paul warmly greets the church he would one day see face to face, but as a prisoner.

    1:1. “Paul.” We first meet him on the Damascus Road. But his life is told in other parts of the book of Acts, and the epistles. Circumcised the 8th day. Sent to Jerusalem to study eventually under Gamaliel, the grandson of Hillel, the most famous rabbi of Jewish history, except for Jesus ...read more

    Paul's Prayer Requests

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,668 views

    Paul prayed at least 5 prayers for believers. These prayers are extremely important because they were inspired by the Holy Spirit and capture the will of God for our transformation into the image of Christ.

    PAUL’S PRAYER REQUESTS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: EVIDENCE 1. A scientist recently said that the “perfect earthquake” was going to strike the West Coast soon.

    Solemnity Of Saints Peter And Paul, Apostles

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 22, 2025

     | 806 views

    Paul’s sense of being captured by Christ defined his spiritual experience. Peter understands his error when a vision enlightens him to a fundamental truth: that which has been purified by God cannot be called "profane" by anyone.

    At the narrowest part of the strait of Gibraltar, where two land masses meet (Africa and Europe, at the mouth of the Med), there are cliffs called the “Pillars of Hercules.” It was the end of the known world. On the old coins of Spain were depicted the two pillars of Hercules, with the Latin motto, ...read more

    A Thanksgiving Day Message From Paul

    Paul had much to be thankful for. He shared some of this with the believers in Philippi. This is an abridged version of a sermon I've preached at a few different churches over the years. Feel free to use this as the Lord leads.

    Introduction: Thanksgiving Day is only two days away as I write this in November 2024! Many have written about the first Thanksgiving Day, in 1620’s colonial Massachusetts and there is much supplemental material. The important thing is that those early Pilgrims knew they could not possibly have ...read more

    Paul says to men: If you want to be a real man, “stand firm in the faith!” Men are to stand firm in both holding and defending the truths of the Gospel.

    On an Internet discussion board I found the following comments: Designer duds, hair gel, waxing appointments, manicures, and facials -- once upon a time, these terms were only associated with women, but nowadays, it seems, men are spending more time and money on looking good.
