    Paul begins his letter with the words, “I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you.” Paul is thankful for the Philippians.

    Paul begins his letter with the words, “I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you.” Paul is thankful for the Philippians. Paul is in prison when he is writing this letter to the Philippians. We would think that Paul would be ...read more

    How To Pray For Each Other

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 23, 2023
     | 2,602 views

    In Ephesians chapter one, Paul gives us some keys to a meaningful and effective prayer life. The main key has to do with other people. The simple fact is that Paul prayed for people other than himself!

    Alba 1-22-2023 HOW TO PRAY FOR EACH OTHER Ephesians 1:15-23 Here are some prayers that children have prayed: Debbie, age 7, prayed, Dear God: Please send a new baby for Mommy. The new baby you sent last week cries too much. Jimmy, age 8, prayed, Dear God: How many angels are there in heaven? I ...read more

    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023
     | 1,795 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are ...read more

    The message is a brief look at the transformation of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle to the Gentiles. The maturation is not an unreachable goal for us as Christians; it is rather a model for our own growth toward maturity in Christ.

    “For some days [Saul] was with the disciples at Damascus. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God.’ And all who heard him were amazed and said, ‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come ...read more

    28 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:11-13 - Message 28 – Paul Extends Himself To The Limits And Another Expose´ Of Those Who Were False Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025
     | 326 views

    What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

    28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

     | 4,903 views

    Paul calls the Philippians to stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel. His relationship with the church in Philippi illustrates what he's talking about. It's challenging!

    [INTRODUCTION AND RECAP] We’re doing a series on ‘why Christians gather together.’ We’re emerging from the Covid pandemic and the various lockdowns and we’ve started to meet together in person so it seems a good time to ask why we gather together.

    While the text is about the gift of tongues, Paul greater concern is how all the gifts of the Spirit are being used for personal gain with little thought of others. Paul would encourage the building up of the body of Christ instead.

    Epiphany 5 C 1 Corinthians 14:12-20 02/08/04 A recent front-page story in the Wall Street Journal (January 6, 2004) reported U.S. Marines being trained for duty in Iraq are getting drilled in people skills as well as heavy weaponry.

    Did You Receive The Holy Spirit When You Believed?

    based on 37 ratings
     | 9,067 views

    All Christians have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them. Paul’s question here is not referring to that. His question concerns whether or not the believers had been baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience is subsequent to salvation.

    “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” Sunday 4/3/05 Ridgeway Assembly of God Pastor Greg Tabor Introduction Turn to Acts 19. Read verses 1-7. Who were these men? “Paul…at Ephesus.

    When you read these verses, it sounds like Paul is a little egotistical. He says in the first part of verse 17, “brethren, be followers together of me.” Now keep in mind, these are the people Paul had led to the Lord.

    Apparently the false teachers in Corinth were suggesting that Paul’s unwillingness to accept support from the church was simply a coverup. They thought that he really had a love for money, and the offering he claimed to be taking for the suffering saints

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: H. L. Gee somewhere tells of a tramp who came begging to a good woman’s door. She went to get something to give him and found that she had no change in the house. She went to him and said, “I have not a penny of small change. I need a loaf of bread. Here is a pound ...read more

    This concludes a sermon series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. God’s call of grace on our own lives calls us to be Christian witnesses to others. Our attitudes, behaviors, and actions reflect on our Christian witness.

    Bibliography: Becoming a Contageous Christian by Bill Hybels, Can We Talk? by Robert Tuttle This summer, we have been traveling with Paul, taking a trip down the Roman road of salvation. On our journey, Paul has taken the time to share with us the following things: 1. There is nothing you can ...read more

    This message focuses on Jacob’s complaint as seen in the title. We learn, as he learned, it was not so. Brief mention is made of Paul’s triumph over his difficulties. There are lessons and applications for our daily Christian walk.

    Paul’s ambition was, "to preach the gospel, where Christ was not known." That was his call and his passion. We now need pioneer missionaries to take the Gospel to the truly frontier people groups.

    In 1998 there was a celebration in India. It was the occasion of the twenty-five-year, silver anniversary, of the mission hospital. The president of the Mission Board came as the keynote speaker. There was also an array of guests related to the history of the hospital who came for the occasion. One ...read more
