The things that can go wrong in Christian service could fill an encyclopedia. Tal Bonham has recorded just a few. A note in the bulletin said, "Ladies don't forget the rummage sale. It is a good chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your ...read more
Scripture: Philippians 1:1-11
A saint is not determined by what they are, but by where they are. If they are in Christ, that is the bottom line. The degree of holiness varies tremendously, but all who are in Christ are equally saints.
Roger Fredricksen, a well-known pastor in my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, wrote a book titled God Loves The Dandelions. In it he tells of how he and his wife Ruth were at a small cabin on the lake in Minnesota. They had just finished reading the book of Philippians with all its powerful ...read more
Paul is not knocking the love of the Philippians. Kindergarten love is not bad, but it is no place to level off and be content. A child who does not progress beyond kindergarten is greatly handicapped, and so is the Christian whose love does not abound more and more in knowledge.
The best of Christians make their share of mistakes, but John Turner was apparently trying to get a large portion of his quota of mistakes out of the way all in one day. John was a conscientious pastor who got to his church early one Sunday morning, and he discovered that he had left his sermon ...read more
Paul demonstrated the power of a thankful heart to overcome enormous negative circumstances. Prayer is not the dark garment of despair. Prayer is a bright garment of praise that will dress up the soul even on the dreariest of days.
My earliest childhood memories of being in church are of the rope that I could ride. The thick rope hung down through the ceiling in the church entry way. I was so little that when the rope was pulled to ring the bell in the belfry, I could hang on to it and get a ride as it would pull me up off ...read more
Scripture: Philippians 1:3-6
if you want to live out the mind of Christ in your home, office, relationship, LIFE – then you must adopt the humble attitude that Christ had.
Mind of Christ – Humility We learned that the Mind of Christ is actually an attitude. Philippians 2:5 That we need to adopt the same attitude as JESUS, and that the attitude was 3 fold. 1. Unity 2. Humility 3. Selflessness Last time we discussed the 3 aspects of Unity • Affection, Spirit, ...read more

Scripture: Philippians 1:3-11, Ephesians 3:20-21
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

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
Scripture: Philippians 1:1-6
Pablo expresa su sentir hacia la iglesia y con eso nos da una gran enseñanaza como debemos amarnos unos a otros.

In dependence upon Christ, love your enemies and be like God; love your enemies and be exceptional; love your enemies and be complete!
Erwin Lutzer tells the story about a man and his wife who came to their pastor and told him, “We're going to get a divorce, but we want to come to make sure that you approve of it.” Like many people, they were not looking for advice. They just wanted their pastor to agree with what they had ...read more

Last week I talked about the need to place our confidence in God and that we need to have a heart of confidence. This week I make the point that although we can't place our ultimate confidence in people, we can still have confidence in them. I finish with our need to persevere in confidence.
I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part two) Last week I started out by asking what are you basing your confidence in. We read the story of Sennacherib king of Assyria attacking Hezekiah king of Judah. Sennacherib was certain he would defeat the smaller army of Judah. He taunted them saying their god ...read more
