We Are Doing A Great Work! - Philippians 1:4-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 16, 2021

The Philippians’ gospel partnership/fellowship (koinonia) with Paul was like the Fellowship of the Ring (band of unlikely comrades who would lay down their lives for one another and the cause of the Fellowship).

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 29, 2021

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 29, 2022

And what does God expect from his people? The ten commandments, within their frame of God's apocalyptic appearance at Mount Sinai.

Today, we are going to work through "kind of" a big section in Exodus. It's maybe a mistake, to do it this way. We are going to fly high over some of God's most basic, well-known commands, and they deserve to be explained better than I'm going to. But the passage as a ...read more
