We continue working through the seven letters to the seven churches coming to the congregation in Philadelphia.

What was Paul's goal in life as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ? He sought to honor the Lord by making known the entire counsel of the Word of God.

May this section of the Word of God stir our hearts to be faithful to Him!
