"One Mind and Spirit" by Greg Chandler
As Paul wrote to the Philippians, he gave them a challenging command: “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ” (1:27).

While many things could have been discussed as examples of this, Paul chose brotherly relationships in Christ. This study will fo...

"Temple Worship: The Beauty of Acapella Singing" by Greg Chandler
The temple of ancient Israel served a sacred purpose; it was a reminder that God was among His people.

“Talking the Walk” by Greg Chandler
An old statement goes, “Put your money where your mouth is.” The meaning is that words are fruitless if there is nothing to back them up.” The Apostle Paul would agree with this concept and perhaps repurpose the statement to say, “Put your walk where your mouth is.” As he wrote to the Ephesian Christians, Paul keenly focused on the importance of their walk in Christ; he used the word walk seven...
