for the prize, and for peace

nothing better than Jesus

January 15, 2023 • Andrew Severinsen • Philippians 3:1–16

There is nothing better than knowing Jesus (3:1-11). Since there is nothing better than knowing Jesus, we pursue growing in our relationship with Him above everything else (3:12-16).

unity through humility, in community

January 8, 2023 • Andrew Severinsen • Philippians 2:12–30

Advancing the gospel, through our unity, fueled by our humility, is what we are about. Paul now tells us to, “Go do it!” We make every effort to live out our faith knowing that it is God who is empowering us.

the name that is above every name

from the cradle to the cross

from the cradle to the cross

only behave as citizens worthy

December 4, 2022 • Andrew Severinsen • Philippians 1:27–30, Philippians 2:1–4

As partners who are advancing the gospel, we are called to walk/live “worthy” of this gospel. Specifically, a worthy walk is marked by unity with one another and by steadfastness against opponents of the faith. And our unity is fueled by our genuine humility.
