Perfect The Good Work During Lent Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 15, 2021

Confident That God Is Able

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 28, 2022

We can relate to Paul’s life in many ways. One of the ways we can relate to him is that He had GOOD DAYS, and BAD DAYS, and so do we.

But one of the differences we see between Paul’s life and our life is that through all of his experiences, HE HAD GREAT CONFIDENCE IN GOD. We do not always have this confidence. Honesty compels me to admit that sometimes I can’t help but wonder if God made some big mistakes. • Sometimes from my ...read more

You People Are Awesome! Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 11, 2021

Most everyone likes looking at pictures in family photo albums, because there are always a couple that make us smile every time we look at them. Paul has similar feelings as he begins this letter to the church at Philippi.

I. Intro A. Who likes to look at pictures in family photo albums? Are there some photos that make you smile every time you look at them? What about every time you think about them? B. We enjoy singing here so much—whenever people ask us what we do, we tell them—but among all the things we’re part ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

The Family Business - Philippians 1: 3-6 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 10, 2022

Jesus uses this idea of business and this idea of work to describe our vocation as well. He says about us – “I want you to believe in the word I sent so that you can do greater works than these.” Works in business.

There's only one story about Jesus when he was a child. He was twelve years old at the time and he got separated from the group. The parents were anxious, the Bible said, and so they go and they find him. And here's what Jesus said. He said to them, “Why are you looking for me? Don't ...read more
