Considered to be one of his most powerful passages, here the Apostle Paul explains the significance of what Christ did for us. The life of Christ is the basis for everything else Paul says to the Philippian church, and to us, because we are all to have "the same mindset as Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5).

Paul exhorts the Philippian church to "stand firm in the one Spirit, striving as one for the faith of the gospel" (1:27). Why does unity within the body of Christ matter for the spread of the gospel? And how do we get there? These are questions we'll be considering as we continue in our study of Philippians.

This week we'll look at Paul's commitment to the advance of the gospel, regardless of what that means for his circumstances. We'll also consider his bold statement that for him "to live is Christ, and to die is gain" and what it says about the Christian view of life and death.

New Sermon Series
This Sunday, we begin a new series of sermons working through the book of Philippians. Written from prison, likely near the end of his life and ministry, Paul wrote this letter to a community of people he considered to be his friends. Philippians has been called Paul's “happiest” letter, with the joy of the Lord as one of its main themes. However, its main emphasis is on knowing Christ and finding our life in him so that God may be glorified.
This Week - Partners in the Gospel
Philippians 1:1-11
Paul begins his letter by sharing his thanksgiving and affection for the church in Philippi, and his confidence in God’s work among them. We’ll consider Paul’s prayer for them at the end of the passage, and what it all means for us as Christ’s followers today.

Advent is a season of preparation and waiting - leading up to Christmas (fulfillment). As we conclude this time of year and look at Luke 2:22-40, we look into the value and opportunity that waiting provides us. We also unpack the stories of two patient individuals featured in Luke - Simeon and Anna - who had both been patiently waiting for the arrival of Jesus.
Join us as we examine the relationship between waiting and fulfillment - and how they give meaning to each other.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-18
The term “mission drift” is used these days to describe the inherent tendency of organizations to slowly and subtly drift from their original purpose. This can happen to a church as well. In chapter 3, Paul challenges the Thessalonians – and us – to stay focused on our purpose and warns against things that can consume our time & energy and turn us aside.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17
Deception is all around us – besides spiritual deception about end times and other matters, there are lies that harm relationships, plus the constant barrage of false promises of the good life in advertisements. How do we avoid being deceived? Paul’s words to the Thessalonians in chapter 2 give us hope in an age marked by deception.
