Choosing Joy In A Post-Traumatic World - Philippians 1:1-2 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 27, 2022

We know that God speaks through His word. But then God does use other ways to speak to us, doesn't He?

We sometimes say God closed the door or something like that. And I'm talking about big decisions. Maybe you were thinking about ...read more

Confident That God Is Able

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 28, 2022

We can relate to Paul’s life in many ways. One of the ways we can relate to him is that He had GOOD DAYS, and BAD DAYS, and so do we.

Honesty compels me to admit that sometimes I can’t help but wonder if God made some big mistakes. • Sometimes from my ...read more

Preaching From Philippians (1 Of 8)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more
