    Light is a special thing to God. Paul uses this special thing to teach us about witnessing and humility.

    Light is a special thing to God. God’s first spoken words in Scripture are, “Let there be light,” and it was the first thing ever created in our universe. He made light to be a special thing with unique characteristics. When a star dies out, its light can still travel for years and still shine. ...read more

    Motivated To Follow Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 2, 2016

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more
