    Continuing with the thought of joy, this message looks at the joy in living and the joy in dying.

    JOY IN LIVING AND DYING PHILIPPIANS 1:21-26 FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN. 22  BUT IF I AM TO LIVE ON IN THE FLESH, THIS WILL MEAN FRUITFUL LABOR FOR ME; AND I DO NOT KNOW WHICH TO CHOOSE. 23  BUT I AM HARD-PRESSED FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS, HAVING THE DESIRE TO DEPART AND BE WITH ...read more

    Philippians 1:12-18. God uses Paul’s unusual circumstances to advance the gospel despite opposition.

    AGAIN I SAY REJOICE FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL PHILIPPIANS 1:12-18 INTRODUCTION - I have a general dislike for clichés. There’s just something about them that makes me cringe. Not all clichés, however. I suppose I could be more specific by saying that I dislike those clichés that over ...read more

    Dramatic monologue as if Paul were speaking: a farewell address, focused largely on Philippians, but drawing from much of the Pauline literature. A play on Paul’s name: Pray, Avoid, Understand, Love.

    Paul, servant of the Gospel, to all the saints in Gaithersburg: grace to you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am ...read more

    Living On Purpose

    Contributed by Randy Trotter on Jul 25, 2009
    based on 25 ratings
     | 15,402 views

    I got this idea from a sermon I saw on SermonCentral. Very few fulfill the purpose of God in their lives so they never fully know the fulness of life God has for them.

    “LIVING ON PURPOSE” LWC July 26, 2009 I’ve teaching on “PURPOSE” on Wednesday nights for some weeks now. It’s something God has impressed on my heart. I know that if we are to live any kind of “Righteous, Successful Christian Lives” we need to understand our “PURPOSE” in life, given by God! God ...read more

    Expectation Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,278 views

    It’s important we understand the role that our expectation has as it relates to becoming content in whatsoever state we’re in, gracefully waiting until the Lord’s Word is performed in our lives.

    A. This is the fifth installment of our ongoing series entitled “Graceful Waiting.” We’ve been talking about how the unfolding will and blessing of God doesn’t happen instantaneously; it takes place through a process of time, and therefore, we must learn how to be content while we wait on the Lord. ...read more

    A sermon on Paul's great statement; To live is Christ and to die is gain." We look at what we gain by dying and how it should affect how we live.

    Title: Dying is better than living Text: Philippians 1:21-23 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with ...read more

    Is the idea that God is working just wishful thinking? What does that look like if he is?

    (Introduction) (Other ideas might be the pains of road construction: and the signs that say, “Completed in 2011 as promised) The grief of my grandfather’s loss was still fresh.

    To Live Is Christ

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Sep 18, 2011
     | 5,788 views

    How do we balance our own pursuit of meaning and happiness with the call to live as Kingdom people? What role does suffering have in the Christian life and why in the world are we called not only to believe in Jesus but to suffer for him? A little bait an

    This dates me, I know, but I can sometimes relate to Charlie Brown in the Peanuts cartoons. Like the one where Lucy is philosophizing and Charlie is listening.

    Turned On To The Truth

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Mar 17, 2012

    The tendency is to avoid being concerned with the truth when life is a big party. But when the pressures of life are applied, and one understands that he has to be responsible; then truth means everything. It is high time for you to be excited about the
