As we continue our study of chapter 1 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians we are given an example in both word and deed of a sturdy confidence in the providence and sovereignty of God. Whether in life or in death Paul has a proper abandonment to whatever the Lord has for him. Paul displays a clarity for life’s great aim: Christ and his glory. He loves the church at Philippi and desires to see them continue growing and maturing in the faith. His desire is for their progress and joy in Christ.

Philippians 4:10-23
July 28, 2019 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Philippians 4:10–23
It has been said that Philippians is the epistle of joy. In part, this is because the words “joy” or “rejoice” appear 16 times in this short letter. The unassailable joy of the Gospel is a theme that runs throughout the NT and it is inextricably connected to our relationship with Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Jim as he wraps up the closing thoughts of the apostle Paul from the ancient letter called Philippians.
Philippians 4:1-9
July 21, 2019 • Curate Kim Thomas • Philippians 4:1–9
The times in Philippi were contentious, and Paul not only knows it but has experienced it. As he encourages his beloved church there, he reminds them how to be “in Christ”, and what that looks like in our daily life as individuals and as members of the body of Christ. He also reminds them of the life-giving promise associated with being “in Christ”. Join TVC’s Curate Kim Thomas as we look at these things from Philippians 4:1-9.
