    Lessons From Paul's Salutations

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2015
     | 4,469 views

    It is most amazing to me how the apostle Paul opens his letters to the churches. This sermon concentrates on the salutation used in the letter to the Colossians and provides insight into how we could or should interact with each other. Praise be to God!

    Colossians 1:1-13 “1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.” “3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord ...read more

     | 12,645 views

    The world measures a man by brains, or by brawn, or by bucks. How do we, as Christians, measure a man? We measure a man by the manner of his life, the message of his life and the motto of his life.

    How To Measure A Man Dr. James O. Davis Acts 20 What is the measure of a real man? Let this message grip your heart forever. The apostle Paul is revisiting a strategic mission field. And he comes to Miletus and there he gathers with him the Ephesian elders. And he has a time walking with them ...read more

    Do You Love Me?

     | 17,397 views

    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more
