Mission Central

With all the theology taught by Paul through his preaching and his letters, the most important lesson he teaches the church is to focus on others. He consistently looked out for others. He was concerned about others. He prayed for them. He taught them for their good. He loved them. He suffered for them. He gave himself, like water poured out, for them.
