    Our commission, compassion, character will determine our witness unto Jesus.

    1 For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain. 2 But even[a] after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict. 3 For our exhortation did not come from error or ...read more

    Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

    Passionate about the Church Philippians 4: 1-3 In order to effectively lead a congregation of believers, the pastor must have a burden for the people within the congregation, while developing personal relationships with them. Paul understood this principle of leadership and provided a great ...read more

     | 4,219 views

    God’s mercy is the key part of a Christian’s commitment to God. In return, we are to show mercy to others. Christian life is marked by transformation and growth in discernment and understanding.

    How do you think of yourselves? There are two options. We can allow our lives, values, attitudes convictions and relationships to be influenced by the world, or we can be remodeled, transformed, reshaped and redesigned from the inside out by the Holy Spirit. How can we know God’s will for ...read more

    The third point of life is a devotion to serving Christ, Church, and Community.

    Doing Good

     | 10,988 views

    Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

    Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

    Jesus never said that we wouldn’t have trials and storms in our life. But when these things do come and they will, He promised not to leave us or forsake us.

    2 Corinthians 4:1 The text today talks about not being discouraged. Paul says; “seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not”(we are not discouraged). The ministry that he is talking about is not the five fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and ...read more
