    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 10, 2021
     | 1,675 views

    The Apostle Paul lived on the edge of death, that’s for sure. As he traveled from here to there, throughout his ministry he planted many churches.

    “In ancient Rome, crowds by the tens of thousands would gather in the Colosseum to watch as Christians were torn apart by wild animals. Paul Rader, commenting on his visit to this famous landmark, said, "I stood uncovered to the heavens above, where He sits for whom they gladly died, and asked ...read more

    If they are rolling in the dough to their church or program do not go.

    Paul's resume dispels the whole Prosperity Gospel. When these false apostles and prophets have a resume like Paul's I might want to hear what they have to say as that experience will prove they are wrong. Apostles and prophets that brag about their wealth and live the life of a rock ...read more

    Message15 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    This week I learned about an interesting paradox called The Mother’s Paradox. Mothers, see if you can relate to any of these ideas: • Motherhood is a complete sacrifice of alone time, but it can be so lonely • In Motherhood, the days are long but the years are short • Motherhood is hilarious, but ...read more

    Preventing A Spiritual Firestorm Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 28, 2024
     | 522 views

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Paradise, California. Lahaina, Hawaii. What comes to mind when I mention those two towns? What do they have in common? Yes, wildfire devastation. Firestorms that destroyed nearly the whole towns. I think most of us remember the terrifying and incredibly speedy devastation that each of these ...read more

     | 94,264 views

    Part 7B under Functions in the New Testament church deals with those functions that Paul styles as first, second, and third; that is, apostles, prophets, and teachers. What are their functions, and were they only for the earliest Christians, or all ages?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more
