Sunday, October 11, 2020 Philippians 4:1-9 "True Joy in Life"

Philippians 3:1-14 "Rise & Shine: The Wake-up Call"

As we think about goals, Paul tells us that before his conversion his only goal was to persecute anyone who was of the Jesus sect, and he was extremely successful. Thank goodness for God’s awesome wake-up call that changed Saul to Paul.

Sunday, September 27, 2020 Philippians 2:1-13 Emptying Ourselves to be Filled with Christ

Paul reminds of that too many times we are so filled with ourselves that we can’t see beyond ourselves. He reminds us, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” Wow! We might think he’s hitting below the belt, but whatever it takes to get our attention, so we live more like Christ, we need it. As Christians many people are listening to and watching us. Who do they see? Our responsibility is to allow God to work in us so we can live out His good purpose and others see Him and not us.
