    Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026
     | 104 views

    As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.

    I guess all of us have watched this program and enjoyed it, as some of the guests of the show made good deals and some made bad deals. While none of us have appeared on this show and played “Let’s Make A Deal,” the fact is, Satan wants to play this game with us every day. For example, the ...read more
