Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

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

Lot And The End Days

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 10, 2020

During His earthly ministry, our Lord Jesus gave us many signs about the end times. One such sign that He mentioned was that the end days would be like the days of Lot. What saved Lot during his days would save us from the end-time destruction.
