To give the assurance of God's ongoing transformative work in believers, the security of their salvation in Christ, and the anticipation of seeing Christ face to face.
Good morning, church family! Isn't it just an incredible blessing to be gathered here today, as a community under Christ, sharing in His love and learning from His Word?

Our guide for today's sermon is Philippians 1:6 which says, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Isn't that just something? That God, who initiated this wonderful work within us, won't stop until it's fully mature, continuing right up until Jesus returns!
C.S. Lewis, one of the most influential Christian writers of the 20th century, once wrote, "The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us." Isn't that the perfect echo of our passage today?
