    Gaius was a believer who is commended by the Apostle John for two things that all believers should seek to have be true of them.

John identifies himself here as “the elder,” which is a term that is used interchangeably ...read more

     | 4,466 views

    Do we deserve God's commendation for our services to him. Well based on Paul's converts at Thessalonica, I would say we do, because we love to serve the Lord in an age where it is unpopular and irrelevant, and to think of others before our ourselves.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 19th October 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: Do we deserve God's commendation for our services to him. Well based on Paul's converts at Thessalonica, I would ...read more

They enjoy being thanked and acknowledged for what they’ve done, maybe not publically but people want to know they have made a difference in their world. The scripture ...read more
