Greeting Fellow Believers Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 17, 2020

Our loyalty to Christ and other believers should supersede all other factors. We should receive and support every other Christian regardless of race, denomination, political party, or any other affiliation. This message expounds Philippians 4:10-23.

For the last two messages we have addressed Paul’s expression of gratitude for the gift the Philippians had sent him. That is found in Philippians 4:10-20. There we discovered a wealth of revelation that has filled our hearts with peace and confidence. Those two previous messages focused on three ...read more

Are You Content (Cun-Tent) With Your Content (Cahn-Tent)?

Contributed by Darian Catron on Nov 27, 2020

Charles Spurgeon said, "If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled." But do we live like that's true? Do we see our circumstances as opportunities to serve and praise God or as an opportunity to complain?

Although Paul was bound under house arrest, the Gospel wasn't. God used Paul's situation in Rome to reach out to the Jewish leaders, the guards, and the believers in Rome and other places through his writings over the two years. God's work cannot be bound.
