Acts 15:22-41

The New Testament mentions Silas several times but does not really single him out for special attention – and you get the sense that Silas would not have it any other way. Silas was not a troublemaker or a magnet for conflict, nor a man seeking his own recognition or benefit. He was a bridge builder, a loyal and faithful companion for the Apostle Paul, and a pillar of support for the apostolic church.

Acts 15:22-41

We all know fictional heroes and their loyal sidekicks – Batman and Robin, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. But a real-life biblical hero, the Apostle Paul, had a faithful faithful sidekick who is often overlooked. Yet one might wonder if Paul's ministry would have been so effective without the steadfast faithfulness and support of godly companions like Silas.

Colossians 2:6-7

A pack of cigarettes comes with a warning label – but heresy and false teaching don't. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he exposes the false teaching and deceptive human philosophies that threatened the ancient Colossian church.

2 Samuel 7:4-17

What would you do if someone boldly confronted you about your sin? Many of us might instinctively try to defend ourselves or justify our behavior. But when Nathan rebuked King David for his iniquity, David repented and turned his heart again to the Lord. We need preachers in our day who like Nathan will boldly confront sin, uproot spiritual pride, and turn people back to Jesus Christ.

2 Samuel 7:4-17

Nathan was not only a prophet-preacher but a prophet-pastor and prophet-advisor who played a valuable role in the life of King David. As God worked in David's life through Nathan, He was also working in Nathan's life at the same time. Nathan was a prophet called by God who was not perfect, but is shown to be committed, pliable, teachable, and surrendered.
