    We must guard the gates of our lives as to what comes in and what goes out (GIGO).

    Tychicus, Onesimus, and Aristarchus chose to chain themselves to ministries of encouragement, inclusion, and support.

    If you follow the rock music scene, I guess I should hurry to assure you that the sermon today is not about a heavy metal group, nor is it about some kind of kinky fetish. The theme, "A Motley Crew, In Chains" is evoked by the long list of names which Paul singles out as he finishes the Colossian ...read more

    This is the last chapter of Paul’s letter to the Christians that he loved and respected at Thessalonica.

    As far as we know, this was the last time Paul communicated with them. You can sense the love he had for them as you read this last chapter he wrote to them. There are many things that take place in a church that are not obvious, but one thing should be obvious to all, and that is the love God’s ...read more

    We’re real good at making excuses for our bad behavior...but have you noticed how easy it is to see bad behavior in others but really think the best about ourselves?

    1. By now in Romans, it’s easy to look at CH 1 and breathe a sigh of relief… thinking: “Wow, I’m glad I’m not that bad!” a. I’m sure there were those in Rome, maybe even those who are reading & studying this book today thinking… b. “Yes, others, sinners, unbelievers, backslidden people are really, ...read more
