Contentment in the Highs and Lows of Life • Philippians 4:10-20
August 21, 2022 • Justin Rahmes • Philippians 4:10–20
It is so difficult to be satisfied in our lives. Whether it be in our jobs, relationships, health, etc. our propensity is to have hearts that are dissatisfied... absent of contentment. In this, we trick ourselves to believe that contentment is just another decision, action, or plan away, but then we arrive and are quickly as dissatisfied if not more than we were before.

August 14, 2022 • Jordan Boyd • Philippians 4:2–9

Everything As Nothing
July 31, 2022 • Justin Rahmes • Philippians 3:1–11

July 24, 2022 • Justin Rahmes • Philippians 2:19–30
We Are Lights in the World
July 17, 2022 • Justin Rahmes • Philippians 2:12–18
There is a common belief in the church that the world is getting darker. While potentially not a false assessment, it shouldn't foster the fear and anxiousness that we see in so many who confess belief in the gospel. We should be a people who walk confidently in this world with courage and strength, because we have been made to be lights that the darkness cannot overcome.
The Secret to Our Citizenship
July 10, 2022 • Justin Rahmes • Philippians 2:1–11
If Paul's writing is true and it has been "granted to us" to suffer and face persecution as citizens of heaven, then what might be the secret to standing strong and persevering through it? How do we come out on the other side reflecting the reality of our citizenship even greater?
The Reason to Live
July 3, 2022 • Justin Rahmes
An often asked question in Christianity is, "What is the point of living if you will die and go to heaven anyway?". That question only seems probable from a perspective of selfish ambition. The gospel gives us a reason that is beyond our own personal gain.
The Advancement of the Gospel
June 26, 2022 • Jerod Martin • Philippians 1:12–18
Advancement takes place when our focus is in the right place. In Philippians 1:12-18, we look at the advancement of the gospel and how our focus on the gospel helps us accomplish the task.
A Prayer for Discerning Love
June 12, 2022 • Tim Harris • Philippians 1:3–11
In the opening lines of his letter to the Philippians, Paul concerned himself with a two-fold vulnerability of the young church: callused hearts, on one hand, and naiveté, on the other. So he penned a prayer that they would grow in gospel-informed, discerning love.
Where is Your Joy?
June 5, 2022 • Jerod Martin • Philippians 1:1–2
Quite often we believe that we can only have joy when life is going well, but is that true? Can we have joy even when life goes differently than we hoped or planned? The question we must answer is where do we look for joy in our lives?
