Life Together
What It Looks Like and Why It Matters
A Life Worth Wanting
July 16, 2023 • Rev. Brandon Blacksten • Philippians 4:10–13
We like to think that the things we pursue are freely chosen, but we rarely realize how much our desires are shaped by the people and media we pay attention to. In the final chapter of Philippians, Paul shares the secret to being content in all circumstances and living a life worth wanting.
Dual Citizenship: A Common Life of Sacrifice
July 2, 2023 • Dr. Mark Foster • Philippians 2:9–11
The Christian life isn't something we do in private—it's a public act of living as a citizen of heaven, and it has serious social and community consequences. Being good citizens of the gospel kingdom of Christ demands higher standards for our behavior, and when we live this way, we can enjoy a common life of joy and humility.
Our Uncommon Common Life
June 25, 2023 • Dr. Mark Foster • Acts 2:42
We all need a supportive community around us, but a healthy, strong community can be hard to find. The early church in Philippi demonstrates what it looks like when we come together as people partnering together who are generous, content, and loving. By following their example, we can create that same kind of community today.
