Rejoice in the Lord Always!

October 3, 2021

Philippians 4:4-7— Rejoice in the Lord all the time and in all circumstances. Rejoicing we make our gentleness known to all peoples. We rejoice because the ever-present Lord is returning in person. Therefore, we do not worry but pray to God with thanksgiving. We rejoice by thinking about, focusing on what is excellent. We rejoice by following godly models and living a lifestyle that embodies the gospel and the kingdom. When we rejoice in the Lord always by doing these the peace of God keeps us safe, and the God of peace Himself is with saving and blessing us.

This is part of our sermon series, Rejoice in the Lord Always, in which we will be walking through Paul’s letter to the Philippians. For this whole sermon series, I acknowledge and credit the following sources and authors that informed my sermons and whose ideas I sometimes used or adapted: Peter Thomas O’Brien, The Epistle to the Philippians: A Commentary on the Greek Text, New International Greek Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1991).

Pray For One Another

May 23, 2021

Philippians 1:3-8 — The sermon deals with the question, How and what do we pray for one another? We should pray as Paul prayed for the Philippians. We pray for one another with joy and love, giving thanks to God. We give thanks and pray with joy because we are partners in the gospel because we share in God’s grace with one another, and we love one another.

God’s Unfinished Story & Alliance Missions

February 7, 2021

Acts 13-15 — People are lost without Jesus. Until our Lord comes back, God invites us to join His unfinished mission, the Great Commission to make disciples of all people. There are many unfinished stories. Through the Alliance missions we join those stories, and we join God’s unfinished story, His unfinished mission. What joy and a privilege!

This is part of our series during the 40 Days of Prayer.

Amazing Grace

Matthew 6:7-15 — This sermon looks at the second half of the Lord’s Prayer. We continue to glorify God. Even though our needs are now in focus, it is ultimately still about God’s glory because God gives, God forgives, God protects and delivers us. All because of his amazing grace and all for his glory.
