    Paul is imprisoned, yet he is thankful. He doesn’t glory in his circumstances, but he does celebrate the relationship that he has with the Christians in Philippi and their partnership in the gospel with him. We too can celebrate this partnership.

With that change of focus comes a change of topics. In the Book of Acts we were focused on the work of the Holy Spirit in and ...read more

The sad old woman sat there looking miserable, depressed and dejected all through dinner. 2. As the lady paid her bill and was leaving, the waitress warmly said, “Have a nice day!” 3.

    How will you honor Christ and be a part of your church in the New Year? If we won’t reach out, or if we won’t work together to do reach others, we've become an exclusive, limiting club filled with Pharisees … which is dangerous ground to be on!

    We know that God speaks through His word. But then God does use other ways to speak to us, doesn't He?

    Have you ever experienced that time when you felt like you knew what you wanted to do? It seemed like the right thing to do. But then what happened? It got shut down. We sometimes say God closed the door or something like that. And I'm talking about big decisions. Maybe you were thinking about ...read more

    In some way the prayer for or mention of the Philippians, in his mind, makes the folks in Philippi somehow present to him.

    Friday of the Thirtieth Week in Course Today’s Gospel can be entitled “the hierarchy of laws.” Jesus is the ultimate wise man—distinguished from the more common “wise guy” by asking a question that anybody in a non-mechanical society could feel reasonable. Not everyone owned an ox or ass; the poor ...read more

    Paul had much to be thankful for. He shared some of this with the believers in Philippi. This is an abridged version of a sermon I've preached at a few different churches over the years. Feel free to use this as the Lord leads.

    Introduction: Thanksgiving Day is only two days away as I write this in November 2024! Many have written about the first Thanksgiving Day, in 1620’s colonial Massachusetts and there is much supplemental material. The important thing is that those early Pilgrims knew they could not possibly have ...read more
