Palmer St. Podcast: Forgiveness
Refusing to forgive is like taking poison in the hope that it kills somebody else. I’m not sure who first said that, but if you think about it, it’s true. Philemon is about forgiveness.
Palmer St. Podcast: A Witness or an Encouragement
Colossians 4:2-18
In this passage, Paul touches on relationships both inside and outside the church. He’ll show us that all of these relationships are important, but they are not all the same. In every relationship that we have we are to be either a witness or an encouragement.

If Jesus is really God incarnate, then our failure to acknowledge that might have eternal consequences. Today’s passage intends to clear this up.
