Let Your Light Shine

Roles Models of Faithful Service

Role models are an interesting thing in today’s world.

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

Phillips wrote a book that he gave a title that fascinates me entitled, Your God Is Too Small. He writes, ...read more
