In the verses immediately preceding our text, Paul exhorted the Philippians to be like-minded and to be of one mind. The phrases used in the original Greek literally mean to “think the same thing” (τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε) and to “think one thing” (τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες). His point was that the body of Jesus Christ…

The proper response to the Divine work of the Father through Jesus Christ should be the Praise of His Name. Because of God's great mercy we have been born again, to a living hope, accomplished by salvation, heir to a mighty inheritance.

Conduct worthy of Gospel Paul has just finished telling the church to conduct themselves worthy of the Gospel (Php1:27-30) 27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit,…

In this sermon we explore the apostle Peter's teaching concerning the election of Jesus Christ to become Savior and King of His people. Though it may seem unimportant to some, God's Word shows us why it is eternally important and joy producing to grasp the choosing of Christ before the foundation of the world to be Savior & King. If Christ were not chosen, than He is our Savior by chance... but since He was chosen, our Salvation is not accidental, but gloriously intentional. What a Savior!

Election day is around the corner. We get the political texts, the phone calls, the attack ads, reminding us of the potential ramifications of this election. And yet our text gives us the reminder that has been omitted from the political commentary and the reminder we most need in this moment in history—one that neither overlooks nor exaggerates the significance of our national distress. Join as we catch a much-needed glimpse of the real One who truly rules over our world and our way of life.

Some topics are too hot to handle but should they be avoided? What if we could have an open mind and not always be defensive? Stephen, an early leader in the Jesus Movement, found out that even things he didn't say would be used against him because tensions were so high.
