Romans 016: Romans Chapter 1 - The Purpose of Pauls Ministry

Welcome To BARAH MINISTRIES

a Christian Church

 
EPH 3:14-15
For this reason (because Jews and Gentiles in the Church Age are a new spiritual species) I (Paul) bow my knees (in prayer) before (God) the Father,//from whom every family in heaven (the angels) and (every family) on earth (humans) derives its name…
 
EPH 3:16 
…that He (God the Father) would grant you (believers in Christ), according to (His glorious) riches, to be strengthened (and able to overcome resistance) with (enabling) power through His Spirit (God the Holy Spirit), (strengthened) in the inner man (the innermost being)…
 
EPH 3:17 
…so that (the Lord Jesus) Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted (in Christ) and grounded (in the Word of God) in (the sphere of unconditional) love…
 
EPH 3:18 
…may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth (how wide) and (the) length (how long) and (the) height (how high) and (the) depth (how deep…the unconditional love of Christ goes)…
 
EPH 3:19 
…and to know (ginosko…through experience) the (unconditional) love of Christ which surpasses (academic) knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
 
EPH 3:20 
Now to Him (God the Father) who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the (enabling) power that works within us…
 
EPH 3:21 
…to Him (God the Father) be the glory in the church and in (union with) Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
 
PHI 4:13
I can do all things through Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) who strengthens me (with enabling power).
 
COL 1:25
Of this church (age) I (Pastor Rory Clark) was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit (for the members of Barah Ministries), so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God…
 
COL 1:26 
…that is, the (preaching about the) mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested (made clearly visible…revealed to all, especially) to His (the Lord Jesus Christ’s) saints (His believers in Christ in the Church Age)…
 
COL 1:27 
…to whom God (the Father) willed to make known what is the (glorious and blazing splendor of the) riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in(dwelling) you, the hope (the absolute confidence) of (your future) glory (a resurrection body to match your resurrection life).
 
COL 1:28 
We (Paul and Timothy and Pastor Rory) proclaim Him (the Lord Jesus Christ), admonishing (counseling and warning) every man and teaching every man with all (biblical) wisdom, so that we may present every man complete (as mature believers who are) in (union with) Christ.
 
COL 1:29 
For this purpose also I (Pastor Rory Clark) labor (work like a dog), striving (agonizing like an athlete) according to His (enabling) power, which mightily works within me.
