This week we’re in Philippians 4:10-13. How can we be content in a world that constantly tells us we need more? In this passage, Paul shows us that true contentment is not dependent upon our circumstances. With our eyes fixed on Christ, we can learn to be content in both abundance and in need because the source of true contentment is unshakeable - Jesus Christ.

This week we’re in Philippians 4:1-9. As Paul begins wrapping up his letter to the Philippian church, he exhorts him to pursue gospel-peace in every area of life: relationships, spirituality, and in their thinking. What if our lives were marked by this supernatural and holistic peace that can't be thwarted by anything?

We’re in Philippians 3:12-21 this morning. Here Paul reflects on our citizenship in heaven. One day, we who believe will have complete knowledge of God and full righteousness in heaven. In light of the gospel, we should press on to obtain the reward of future glory. A vision of our eternal destination makes all the difference for how we live our lives today.

For our Home Liturgy today we are studying Philippians 3:1-11. Paul speaks firmly and passionately against a false gospel that threatens the church. To add to the gospel is to distort it and lose it altogether. So what is true saving faith? It is forsaking all self-sufficiency and knowing the surpassing worth of Christ in the free grace of the gospel.

For our Home Liturgy today we are studying Philippians 2:12-30. Paul doesn't pretend that living a humble life of obedience is easy. The Christian life is one of holy effort and obedience. Paul continues to show us what this life looks like in practice, while also encouraging us that such obedience comes from the work of Christ in us. We work out what Christ has worked in us.

For our Home Liturgy today we are studying Philippians 2:1-11. In this passage, we're exhorted to walk in humility as followers of Christ. But how do we who are so prone to self-exaltation consider others more significant than ourselves? Paul shows us that the power to live humbly is found in Christ who is first our savior then our example. In Christ, we see the great paradox of the Christian life -- the way to true exaltation is through humility.

For our Home Liturgy today, we'll be looking at Philippians 1:19-30. In this passage, Paul again repeats the theme of rejoicing in any circumstance, even the possibility of death for the sake of the Gospel. He is so confident in God that he is willing to live for Christ or to die and be with Christ. Such confidence should mark our lives as well. Like Paul, we who are citizens of heaven are to live in a manner that is worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

This week we’re in Philippians 1:12-18. Paul reminds the church in Philippi that the Gospel is progressing in unique ways even in the midst of his imprisonment. Suffering is not a hindrance to God's mission -- it's a providential means by which he advances the gospel through his people. Are we living on mission in the midst of our present crisis? One of the greatest ways we can celebrate Easter Sunday is by considering the mission of God to bring the good news of our risen Christ to those far from him

This week we will begin our journey through Philippians by looking at 1:1-11. Paul begins his letter to the church at Philippi with thanksgiving to God for the work he is doing in the church, the evidence of grace in their lives, and the growth that he will continue to do in and through them. Paul's prayer models for us the gratitude, confidence, and fruitfulness that should embody every church.

In our Scattered Gathering this week we are studying Psalm 46 which exhorts us to find refuge in God alone. We are well aware that these are unstable times. The world as we know it is giving way. In all of this, our good and sovereign God invites us to find safety in him. When we trust in our sovereign God not only find the strength to endure trials, but also find gladness in the midst of them. "The Lord of hosts is with us! The God of Jacob is our fortress!"
