Philippians 5. Can we turn to Philippians chapter two please? We have been looking at Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi [P]. They were a healthy active church, partners with Paul supporting him in His work of spreading the Gospel, the message of life in Jesus Christ. This is the message that the…

Philipians 10. At the beginning of the last chapter Paul warned the believers in Philippi – three times he told them to BEWARE! [P] [Philippians 3:2-3 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and…

Philippians 9. You may recall, that the last part of this letter [P] we were looking at was dealing with personal details and arrangements – Paul was telling the church how he was going to send Timothy and Epaphroditus to them, and then come himself. Now he suddenly changes tack, from these personal…

Philippians 6. Today we are going to look at a passage that is an awesome revelation of Jesus – I approach it with some trepidation because I want to do it justice but am aware that I am totally incapable of doing so – who is sufficient for these things?! But that is the case with all Scripture – we…

Philippians 7. Let us turn to Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi (Phil 2:12) [P]. “Therefore, my beloved, ….” One of Derek Prince’s catchy sayings was: “If there is a “therefore” find out what it is there for!” And we begin with a “therefore”! There is a connection with what he has said before –…

Philippians 4. Please turn to [Philippians 1:20-30] [P] We have been looking at Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi. He was writing from prison in Rome. Last time we saw how concerned the Philippians were for Paul in his situation. They thought that things had gone drastically wrong – they were partners…

Philippians 2. Please turn to the book of Philippians. Last time I gave you a little bit of church history, about how the church in Philippi came to be established, and how Paul came to write a letter to them [P]. There was difficulty every step of the way, but through it God furthered His purposes.…

Philippians 14. God is GOOD! Hallelujah! He has given us many things. Each of us have talents, don’t we? [P] It is quite interesting to see what the Bible has to say about talents. It is easy to do these days with computers and software with search engines. You type in “talent” press enter and up come…

Philippians Introduction. Intro: I want to give a little history lesson this morning. Not that I am at all qualified – I never did history at school. I had this innate laziness that said, “Why write a great long essay when you can write short equation?” So I was strictly science and maths. There’s too…

Philippians 3. Please turn to Philippians chapter 1 [P]. Do you know I get asked some difficult questions? One that people often ask me, and which I find very difficult to answer, is: “How has your week been?” I generally make an evasive remark to try to avoid answering it. I know, it is “small-talk”,…

| Philippians 13.Here we are, the third of March, we are already in to Autumn, but there is still some hot weather ahead of us. In fact we have had some real scorchers this summer. I do not handle the high temperatures that well – once it gets above 25o C. I wither. The good thing about have an 11 year…

Philippians 11. Whenever we drive north out of Christchurch I have to have a little smile to myself – there is a specific spot, just north of Leithfield, just before you hit Amberley. I always notice the place because I can recall as a little fellow, there we were travelling to Nelson or Picton or someplace…

Philippians 8. Patterns: The Olympics have come and gone, the finest athletes in the world competing together. Now I have never aspired to be an athlete but there are some that do. They see that one who is the top of their field and seek to emulate him, study video and replays, examining his technique,…

Philippians 12. Let us turn to Philippians chapter 4. Often you find in Paul’s letters he deals with doctrine, theology, teaching in the first half of the letter and then moves on to practical application – putting it into practice, in the second part. And that is the way it should be – our way of life…
