Living Worthy of the Gospel
This Friday, I’ll be the keynote speaker at the annual Fellowship Dinner for the Biblical Counseling Center. 
I’m especially honored because their director, Dr. Ron Allchin, led me to Christ thirty-eight years ago. In fact, I’m speaking on the same passage—Philippians 2:1-18—that I spoke on for my first-ever message when I was sixteen—when Dr. Allchin was my Youth Pastor.
Here’s the outline.
Title: Christ-Centered Counseling: Helping One Another to Live Worthy of the Gospel—Philippians 2:1-18
