1 Thes 2:1-20. In reflecting on the ministry they’d had in Thessaloniki, Paul lays out many characteristics of heart and attitude that should be evident in church ministry.

Luke 10:25-37. “The Good Samaritan”, perhaps the most misunderstood parable of all, teaches us that our love is deficient, we cannot keep the law, and we can only be saved by grace. Then, once we have His spirit, we can love as we are supposed to. It’s not that we should be good to be […]
