Description: Paul concludes this epistle confident that it will fulfill his desired intent. His confidence is based on the effects of the Gospel manifested in forgiveness and love.
Description: After the wise men from the far East met young Jesus, they went home a different way. It’s a bit of a play on words, but even today, when someone meets Jesus, they go home a different way.
Description: Paul deals with the final issue in his appeal to Philemon by dealing with Onesimus’ outstanding debt. Paul is willing that the debt be written in his name and in that act, we see elements of the Gospel.
Description: Paul is careful not to force Philemon to do anything, but rather he makes an appeal based on love and allows the Holy Spirit to lead Philemon in Christian freedom to serve God.
Description: Paul sends Onesimus who he describes as his son and his very heart back to Philemon. In this passage we see the transformation in the life of Onesimus and what God had done in him.
Description: Paul bases his appeal to Philemon the slave-owner, on behalf of Philemon’s slave Onesimus, not upon Paul’s authority as an Apostle but rather upon Christian love.
Description: Paul thanks God for the faith in Jesus Christ and love for the saints that he sees in the life of Philemon and prays that Philemon would continue to grow in those areas.
Description: Join us as we welcome back to our pulpit “the missionary who speaks from the heart,” David Hardin — a gentleman who, in his younger years, actually attended our small country church. For the past dozen years he, along with his wife and growing young family, has ministered to the indigenous people of the Tarahumara Tribe in the mountains of Northern Mexico through Mexico Mission Aviation with emphasis on medical flights, literacy, and Biblical teaching and discipleship.
Description: This passage of Scripture from God’s Word gives us the answer to why we have Christmas. We will find that there have actually only been two men who have ever lived.
Description: In the midst of an impending attack by the Assyrians, Micah pronounces the good news of a coming King who will safeguard Israel from her enemies as He rules the nation as the Good Shepherd. This King will not only be a descendant of David but will come from long ago, from the days of eternity.
Description: Paul doesn’t command Philemon as an Apostle but rather appeals to him out of Christian love and the Gospel. Paul’s greeting and salutation support his letter, confident of the outworking of the Gospel in the life of Philemon for the benefit of Onesimus and the church.
Description: As an introduction to the book of Philemon, we will explore what the Scriptures say about slavery in the Old Testament under the Mosaic Law, in the New Testament under Roman Law, and how those systems of slavery differed to that of the American South. Finally, we will look at how the Gospel offers good news to the slavery from sin.
Description: As we read the account of Jesus healing the ten lepers, we marvel that only one returned to give thanks. To be quite honest, in reality, we are much more like the 9 than the one who returned. God has so wonderfully blessed each of us. We’ll reflect on His goodness and develop the thought of thankfulness in this message.
Description: Now that Jude has commanded us to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, he now gives us the things to do in order to accomplish this task. The tasks he gives are both practical as well as profound. If churches were to follow Jude’s instruction many wouldn’t be in such dire need of reform.
Description: Jude writes of the certainty of judgment and the fact that the very Lord whom the false teachers denied was coming in judgment against all apostates.
Description: The word ‘Ebola’ is now on every newscast. If you are in an area where the disease is active, the idea of personal hygiene to protect your health, and perhaps even your life, is very real. Centuries ago God spoke of the need for washing and used it as an illustration of the cleansing needed for sin.
Description: Jude launches into an attack on the false teachers citing three examples of notorious Old Testament sinners followed by six descriptive examples of what these false teachers are like.
Description: Jude wants to draw a strong connection between the false teachers who have infiltrated the church in his day, to those who are known to have incurred the judgment and wrath of God. These lessons are just as applicable to the modern church as they were to those who worshiped in the first century.
