Priest on SermonAudio

Loving one's neighbor is the true measure of loving God, as shown in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

In this episode, Assistant Pastor Ryan Ahlenius sits down with Pastor Cogbill and John Unger to discuss a question on 1 Timothy 3:11. The ESV translates 1 Timothy 3:11 as 'their wives', although a more faithful translation would be 'the women'. Is this verse referring to an office of deaconess? How does Titus 2 shed more light on women who serve the local church? How should we understand the uses...

In this sermon, Christians are called to value faithful...
