    “in Pursuit” Series

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Jul 26, 2016
     | 7,750 views

    This is part of a series of very brief messages that can be used in church newsletters for stewardship.

    In the third chapter of Philippians, the Apostle Paul uses the Greek word, dioko, (dee-o-ko, “to pursue”) to describe the nature of his spiritual development. In the sixth verse, he says that he pursued Christians in an effort to protect Judaism. In verse twelve, Paul says that he ...read more

    Overcoming Anxiety And Worry

    Contributed by Richard Wayne Wiggins on Jul 31, 2016
    based on 4 ratings

    In these two verses God gives us a formula to practice to overcome anxiety and worry. Four words that begin with the letter R will help you to learn to have peace even when circumstances are not peaceful. Realize, Reach, Release and Rest.

    I. Realize (v. 6) "Be anxious for nothing" We must first come to the place that we know that we are anxious. The Bible says our hearts are deceptive. Sometimes we do not know what is bothering us. Some people show anger. Some get depressed. Underlying these emotions might be anxiety and ...read more

    15You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you alone. 16For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. 17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek ...read more

    Dare To Be Humble

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 28, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,080 views

    Jesus uses a couple of etiquette lessons to teach true humility. The point is simple (and repeated throughout scripture): If we lift ourselves up, God will put us down. If we lift others up, God will lift us up.

    Luke 14:1, 7-14 Dare to Be Humble The Duke of Wellington once haughtily drew himself up to his full height and thundered to one of his staff officers, “God knows I have many faults, but being wrong is not one of them!” The best of us struggle with pride from time to time. In ...read more

    Bernstein once was asked which instrument was the most difficult to play. He said, "The second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm--that's a problem."

    Up To Here With Self Philippians 2:3-4NASB One of the first conductors born and educated in the United States to receive worldwide acclaim was Leonard Bernstein. He directed the New York Philharmonic, conducted concerts by some of the world's leading orchestras, wrote symphonies, ...read more

    A Greeting Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 31, 2016
     | 7,972 views

    Although Paul was imprisoned, he sought to encourage the church at Philippi. He urged them to focus on Christ and His grace. Like Paul, we need to encourage others while keeping our focus on the Lord. He must be central to all we do.

    A Greeting of Grace Philippians 1: 1-2 Today as we begin to move through this precious epistle, verse by verse, I want to remind us of the context in which it was written. Paul is bound in a Roman prison, awaiting trial, facing accusations regarding his faith. He is no longer free to go and come ...read more

    Partners In The Faith Series

     | 10,425 views

    Paul was confident in the Lord and committed to the church. We need to share his confidence in the Lord and a genuine commitment and devotion to the church.

    Partners in the Faith Philippians 1: 3-8 It is impossible to read the letter to the Philippians and miss Paul’s great love for the church. In fact, as you read his many epistles, the love he had for the church is confirmed again and again. It does appear he had a special bond with those at ...read more

    The Power Of Positive Thinking

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 12, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 46,886 views

    Although there are many self-help publications with this title, if an author doesn’t cite God as the source of all positive thought and ability it’s not something I’ll read. The power doesn't come from channeling some unknown energy it comes from God.

    THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING INTRODUCTION: Although there are no doubt many self-help publications with this title, this sermon is not based on any of them. If an author writes a publication with a title such as this one and doesn’t cite God as the source of all positive thinking ability ...read more

    Paul loved the church at Philippi and was committed to praying for them. We need to share the same commitment to pray for the church. There are real people with real needs, that need specific prayers.

    A Prayer of Purpose Philippians 1: 9-11 Following a gracious greeting and a word of thankfulness for their partnership in ministry, Paul offers a brief, but pointed prayer for the church in Philippi. Although his prayer is but three sentences long, it possesses great wisdom and reveals the heart ...read more
