Philippians 1:29-30

Philippians 1:27-28 It is a joy to be back in the Book of Philippians once again, even though the circumstances are not as great of a joy.  But it is a joy, nonetheless.  This passage that we’re going to be looking at today—and next week and the next couple of weeks also—I think is especially helpful, and it speaks a special word, a timely word for this age, this time we are currently living in.  So if you can remember…

Philippians 1:24-26 Please turn in your Bibles to Philippians Chapter 1.  We are going to be continuing through this passage, which is a Part 2 to last week’s sermon.  This morning’s passage also comes directly out of that well-known saying that Paul makes in verse 21.  Let’s quickly remind ourselves of this context which we are studying today.  Let’s look at the end of verse 18 all the way through verse 26 together again. *Yes, and I will rejoice, for…

Philippians 1:21-23 What a joy it is to be back with you again today in this book.  It’s been a while, so we are going to spend the first couple of moments reminding ourselves of what Paul has been saying to us in the previous verses.  Of course the best way to remind us of that is by reading some of these verses.  Let’s read together the end of verse 18 through 26 in Chapter 1 and remind ourselves a…

Philippians 1:18-21             It is a tremendous joy to be back in the Book of Philippians.  I really enjoyed studying this week and looking at this passage and thinking through this passage.  As we mentioned before, this book is often referred to as the “Epistle of Joy” because terms like “joy” and “rejoice” are found comparatively much more often in this book—16 times in four chapters—than they are in any other book.  But it is also the Epistle of Joy…

Philippians 1:15-18 I am so grateful again today to be in Philippians Chapter 1 to continue from last week.  If you remember, last week we talked about the unbelievable reality that wherever God has you is where he wants you in order to be carrying out the work of evangelism and discipleship he has for you—that you are to be serving with all your heart no matter where you are, realizing he has currently and strategically placed you in the…

Philippians 1:12-14 We are back in the Book of Philippians today. In the month of October, we went together through the first eleven verses in the Book of Philippians, which was enriching for me, if nothing else.  Hopefully, you got something out of it also.  But through the first eleven verses of this letter we saw this exemplary, amazing love and concern Paul has for the church at Philippi.  But in addition to that, there is also an understanding throughout…

Philippians 1:9-11 In the last few weeks, we have been looking at this incredible opening to the book of Philippians.  In the last two weeks, in verses 3 through 8, we have seen the amazing way in which Paul truly loves the Christians in Philippi.  In fact, let’s read those verses together again.  *I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your…

Philippians 1:7-8 Last week we looked at verses 3 through 6 of Philippians Chapter 1.  In those verses, we saw the amazing, the unbelievable love that Paul has for all of the believers in the church at Philippi.  We talked about the fact we live in this culture that is constantly trying to get us to focus on ourselves and to think about ourselves, and we even demonstrated how this is also the focus of much of what we see…
