Suffering For The Right Reasons: Rejoice! - Wk 4

Rejoice! - WK 4

April 28, 2024 • Arlen Chastain • Philippians 1:19–30

Do you suffer for the church? There is 168 hours in a week, if we can't give an hour and fifteen minutes of it to the Lord in a church service, we aren't ready to suffer for the church yet.

Philippians 1:19-30

19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.

Message Notes:

1. We suffer for CHRIST.

2. We suffer for the CHURCH.

3. We suffer for the LOST.

You get to decide where you dwell: the home of anxiety or the house of the Lord.

The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Picking A Good Role Model: Rejoice! - Wk 12

June 23, 2024 • Andy Addis • Philippians 3:17—4:1

The ends do not justify the means, but the means do lead to an end. Philippians 3:17–4:1 17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. 4 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. Message Notes: 1. BAD examples lead to BAD places. 2. GOOD examples come from BETTER places. - CrossPoint is a family of churches striving to reach the state of Kansas by making disciples of Jesus who love God, Grow Up, and Serve All.

Becoming Like Jesus: Rejoice! - Wk 11

June 16, 2024 • Andy Addis • Philippians 3:12–16

People who truly want to be like Jesus do things to be like Jesus. Philippians 3:12–16 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained. Message Notes: 1. Is knowing we’re not there YET. 2. Is STRIVING to get there soon. - CrossPoint is a family of churches striving to reach the state of Kansas by making disciples of Jesus who love God, Grow Up, and Serve All.
