    On the second Missionary Journey, the Church in Philippi is birthed with pain and injustice. Yet God used that to birth his Church there

    IC/NR 20-05-07 1. Introduction: I rather like the book of Acts, because it shows the Church in action, warts and all. It is a dynamic book, written as a sequel to Luke’s Gospel. And unlike Luke’s Gospel – we see Luke’s personal reminiscences appearing – in ...read more

Should this be applied universally for all believers at all times? 2. Is it a complete handbook for church behavior? 3. Was Paul a chauvinist? ...read more

There’s only problem with that philosophy: its dead wrong; its 180 degrees out of ...read more
