    This is a New Year's message based on Philippians 3. Paul had looked back at his life in Judaism, and realized he still needed to be growing to become more like Christ.

    Some of the great people of faith in the Bible did not finish life well. They had downturns.

    We generate history, not by politics and war, but by service to the poor and helpless.

    Thursday of the 30th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Every time we turn a page in the New Testament, we are–if we are sensitive–struck by how counter-intuitive the Christian message is. Consider St. Paul’s life. He was, by his own account, a super-Jew. He observed every ...read more

    Focused On The Faith Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 16, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,655 views

    Paul exhorted the church to rejoice in the Lord, even though they faced adversity, and avoid false teaching. He also emphasized that works were not enough to secure salvation. If they remained focused on the faith, they could overcome in Christ.

    Focused on the Faith Philippians 3: 1-6 As we begin to discuss the third chapter of Philippians, it appears that Paul is seeking to begin concluding his thoughts to the church. While this may have been the beginning of his conclusion, he has quite a bit more to share with them. Following the ...read more

    The most critical teaching in the Christian faith – accepting and living in who we truly are in Christ. We call this our identity in Christ.

    Last Sunday we began a series of lessons on what’s arguably the most critical teaching in the Christian faith – accepting and living in who we truly are in Christ. We call this our identity in Christ – and as I shared last Sunday – as believers in Christ – our identity is not determined by who we ...read more

    First sermon I preached at our new church plant, The Road, www.tiftonroad.org. It was about the willingness of Paul to totally rely on Christ, rather than any earthly accomplishment or accolade.

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,901 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile?

    Paul reminds us that our Joy must be defended against things that rob of us of Joy.

    NTRO: 1. So far Paul has taught us that it’s important for us to understand or define triumphant Joy, then he revealed to us how we can refine or develop that Joy… but tonight Paul sees it important to remind us that our joy must always be defended. 2. It may came as no surprise for ...read more

    If you want the joy of your relationship with Christ back, beware of the legalists and simply believe in Christ. Stop trying to live up to someone's performance standards and simply trust Christ with your life.

    In our lawsuit-happy culture, American companies must go to great lengths to avoid lawsuits, and they do it by putting some of the strangest warning labels on their products.

    When the Lord returns are you confident that you will be accepted and spend eternity with Him in heaven? Are you trusting in your rituals, your ethnicity, or your obedience to the law? Only those who have faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ will enter the kingdom of God!

    To conclude this study of the Beatitudes, the text in Matthew 5:3-10 is used as a TEMPLATE for prayer. Praying Scripture is a powerful way to apply truths to our own lives and reinforce our understanding of the passage.

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

    The Reality Of Joy

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 28, 2023
     | 1,898 views

    What is Biblical Joy? Throughout the New Testament, we are encouraged to be joyful and to rejoice. But does that mean that we always have to be happy?

    The question that Paul seems to be trying to answer for most of this passage of scripture is, how Jewish do you have to be to be a Christian? It was the question of whether or not Christians had to follow all of the Jewish regulations and guidelines was an ongoing debate throughout the New ...read more

    Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,255 views

    The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

    We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more
