Our Evangelical Faith

 Author: 

Victor A. Shepherd

 Abstract:

Dr. Shepherd preached last October at Central United.  This short book is a collection of concise and helpful articles on the core ideas and beliefs of Christian faith.  Don’t be distracted by the word “evangelical” in the title; it comes from the Greek word used in the New Testament that means “to proclaim good news”.

Scripture reading:  Colossians 4:2-18
 
Sermon text:  Colossians 4:7-9

7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me; he is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow-servant* in the Lord. 8I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are* and that he may encourage your hearts; 9he is coming with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here. 

Most people value friendships.  In this message we reflect on Paul’s companions in the gospel and that friendships are not only good for achieving goals but that Christ has made Christian fellowship essential for salvation.
