Character Matters

CC Sermon • Philippians 4:4-7

May 19, 2024 • Jonathan Parnell • Philippians 4:4–7

In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Philippians 4:4-7 in which Paul exhorts us with three character qualities – joy, gentleness, and peace. We want to be a people growing in spiritual joy, obvious gentleness, and an inner peace. And it’s because of Christ Jesus that we are able to do so. It’s because of God’s love that he is still working on us.

Not About the Money

June 9, 2024 • Jonathan Parnell • Philippians 4:14–18

In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Philippians 4:14-18 in which Paul addresses his financial partnership with the Church at Philippi giving three reasons why Christian giving is not about the money. This church’s giving expressed their true partnership; it resulted in spiritual receiving; it was a sacrifice that pleased God – and these three things apply to us today.

Learning Christian Contentment

In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Philippians 4:11-13 in which Paul reveals to us the secret of Christian contentment. It’s not funds, freedom, or food. It’s Christ-sufficiency!
