Who Is Your God? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 25, 2023

Paul talked a lot about his faith and his Jesus because he knew who his God was. And what Paul did is something you and I can do... if we know God the way he did. What did Paul know about God that we sometimes don't?

Assault Against The Faithful Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2021

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also.

Spirit-Filled Life Series

Contributed by Steven Chapman on May 7, 2007

Paul’s point is that the Holy Spirit is the controlling influence motivating and directing the lives of believers. As we sort through these participles, we can identify at least three results of the Holy Spirit’s influence.

Abstaining From Worldly Associations

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Nov 23, 2011

Paul taught that the corrupt ways of the world was totally incongruent with the life that is in Christ. The Apostle Paul asks some searching questions to point out the absurdity of Christians trying to straddle the spiritual fence in their daily life.

A Witness To The Faith

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 11, 2017

Although under house arrest, Paul continued to proclaim the Gospel. He refused to remain silent about the grace he had received. We need to share the desire and commitment of Paul to proclaim the Gospel.
