Content & Generous Partners
Is it possible to find contentment regardless of our circumstances? And if we find contentment, will we be inclined to be generous with what we have, or will we strive to maintain our current situation? In Philippians 4:10-23, God reveals how we can be content and generous partners in Christ.
Peace of Mind
What fills your mind shapes your life. Philippians 4:8-9 reveals how focusing on what is true, noble, right and pure ultimately leads us to Jesus. This sermon explores how to cultivate a healthy thought life in Christ and enjoy God's peace in a world full of worries and distractions.
Coping Under Pressure
In a world filled with problems and anxiety, Philippians 4:4-7 offers a path to peace. Learn how rejoicing, prayer, and trust in God can guard our heart and mind, bringing a peace that surpasses understanding—even in the midst of life’s toughest challenges.
Standing Firm Together
Being a Christian in a world opposed to Christ can be challenging. How can we resist living like everyone else and stand together when it’s easier to divide? In Philippians 3:17-4:3, God urges us to imitate people like Paul and stand firm by remaining united through disagreements.
Works in Progress
Imagine your life as a race filled with opportunities and obstacles. How are you running today? Are you burdened by discouragement, racing with ambition but unsure of your destination, or tripped up by the past? In Philippians 3:12-16, God teaches us how to run with purpose, focus on what truly matters, and finish strong.
Knowing Jesus
What do you value most in life? Is it your achievements, your relationships, or something deeper? Philippians 3:1-11 shows that a Christian is someone who has found that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus as Lord. Once you know Jesus, you want to know him more.
Selfless Servants
We often imitate those we admire, starting in our youth and continuing throughout our lives. Our actions can also influence those close to us. So, how can we imitate the right people and be good role models? Philippians 2:19-30 offers two shining examples of people who modelled their lives after Christ and inspired others to do the same.
Salvation Shines
The way we live says something about our beliefs and values. Every word we speak, every decision we make, every attitude we hold sends a message about what matters most to us. Philippians 2:12-18 shows us how Jesus can change how we live so that we stand out for the right reasons.
Gospel Unity
Unity is essential for the church’s credible witness to the gospel. But unity can be difficult to maintain. Philippians 2:1-11 highlights that the key to unity is humility. By looking to Christ’s humility—displayed in the cross—believers can foster genuine unity, embodying the gospel in their relationships.
Gospel Citizens
The good news Jesus is not just something to believe, it’s life-changing. We are to live lives worthy of the gospel. But what does that look like? In Philippians 1:27-30 the apostle Paul sets out the call, the practice, and the courage of lives worthy of the gospel.
Gospel-Centered Perspective
Everyone faces setbacks and obstacles, and our response can reveal what we deeply care about. While setbacks may cause us to fear the future, in Philippians 1:12-26, God shows us how to respond joyfully to setbacks, remain confident about our future and make the most of our present opportunities.
Christ-Centred Partnership
Have you ever felt that you belonged? Have you ever enjoyed a deep connection that seems unaffected by your circumstances? In Philippians 1, we see how the gospel of Jesus Christ unites our identity, purpose, and destiny, leading to a thankfulness and joy that cannot be shaken.
