This sermon focuses on Paul's words to "work out your salvation" and the three options for doing so.

Preaching From Philippians #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

Unassailable Joy - Philippians 1:12-18 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 29, 2021

Does God want us to pretend to be joyful when we're miserable?

Philippians 1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the ...read more

My Struggles Are All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 31, 2022

Do our struggles and suffering have a reason or a purpose? God can use our struggles and suffering to bring Him glory. But we must make our struggles all about God, and not about us.

A. As I meditated on suffering and struggles this week, these ideas came forth in my mind: Suffering is paradoxical. Suffering is bad and good. Suffering is painful and helpful. Suffering is confusing and enlightening. Suffering isolates and builds community. Suffering may lead to death or ...read more

Spiritual Depression; Its Causes And Cure - Philippians 1:12-21 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 11, 2022

I think if we were to take the book of Philippians and we were to try to understand emotions, there would be a map that goes like this with these three particular kind of emotions. One is anger. The second is sadness. And the third is anxiety.

The book of Philippians is a very emotionally transparent book. It's the most emotional book in the New Testament. That's because Paul is sharing his emotions with them, but he's also processing his emotions with them, and he's also encouraging them to process their emotions in a ...read more

The Unstoppable Move Of God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 16, 2021

Although Paul was bound under house arrest, the Gospel wasn't. God used Paul's situation in Rome to reach out to the Jewish leaders, the guards, and the believers in Rome and other places through his writings over the two years. God's work cannot be bound.

LET US PRAY: May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Ps 19:14) Bless everyone that has come today, this we pray in Jesus’ Name, AMEN. We have finally come to the end of the book of Acts. • We started this series on 29 ...read more

Greeting Fellow Believers Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 17, 2020

Our loyalty to Christ and other believers should supersede all other factors. We should receive and support every other Christian regardless of race, denomination, political party, or any other affiliation. This message expounds Philippians 4:10-23.

For the last two messages we have addressed Paul’s expression of gratitude for the gift the Philippians had sent him. That is found in Philippians 4:10-20. There we discovered a wealth of revelation that has filled our hearts with peace and confidence. Those two previous messages focused on three ...read more

Are You Content (Cun-Tent) With Your Content (Cahn-Tent)?

Contributed by Darian Catron on Nov 27, 2020

Charles Spurgeon said, "If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled." But do we live like that's true? Do we see our circumstances as opportunities to serve and praise God or as an opportunity to complain?
