    Philippians Week 29: Thinking About Things Worthy of Praise
    Aug 11 2025

    Paul’s instruction in Philippians 4:8-9 challenges believers to carefully examine what occupies their thoughts. Rather than simply adopting cultural values, Paul takes six Hellenistic virtues and reframes them through the lens of the Gospel. He is relating truth to those who knew and understood their culture in a way that shows all truth is God’s truth.

    Philippians Week 28: The Joy Of The Nuclear Option
    Aug 11 2025

    Paul’s teachings in Philippians 4:4-7 provide a foundation for stability in an increasingly unstable world. Unlike modern approaches that focus on techniques and methods for dealing with anxiety, Paul presents the Gospel as our “nuclear option” - applying the big eternal truth to small daily circumstances.

  • Philippians Week 27: The Joy Of Joy

    Philippians Week 27: The Joy Of Joy
    Aug 4 2025

    Philippians 4:4-5 explores Paul’s recurring theme of joy that “bubbles out” even in the midst of his imprisonment. Paul doesn’t simply command joy as an emotion we must manufacture; rather, he roots joy in the truths of the Gospel. Unlike the world’s pursuit of happiness through self-fulfillment, Christian joy comes from recognizing we were designed for relationship with God. When we understand that “the Lord is at hand” (present with us) and trust in His goodness, we can experience joy that transcends our current circumstances and helps us view life in light of eternity.

    Philippians Week 26: The Joy Of Spiritual Laser Beams
    Jul 28 2025

    2025, like most years, hasn’t been easy. Yet God remains at work—we may have been “roughed up,” but in His hands, we are neither forgotten nor abandoned.

    Paul wrote Philippians while imprisoned in conditions of unspeakable horror: overcrowded prisons with suffocating air, sleepless nights in chains, underground chambers devoid of light, corroding iron shackles, and appalling filth. Yet Paul wasn’t deterred by these devastating circumstances. Instead, he found something far more devastating: the life he used to live before Christ.

    Paul demonstrates three key principles: what he left behind, what he pressed toward, and how we can follow his example.

  • Philippians Week 25: The Joy Of Phronesis

    Philippians Week 25: The Joy Of Phronesis
    Jul 20 2025
    Philippians 4:1-3 serves as the culmination of Paul’s argument from the previous chapter. Throughout Philippians, Paul has emphasized the importance of phronesis - “a pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting” shaped by the Gospel. In these verses, Paul addresses a specific conflict between two women in the Philippian church, Euodia and Syntyche, urging them to “agree in the Lord” - to adopt the same mind of Christ in their relationship. Paul doesn’t take sides, dismiss their concerns, or force an artificial friendship; rather, he calls them to view their disagreement through the lens of the Gospel.

    Philippians Week 24: The Joy Of Maturity
    Jul 14 2025
    Today we will see how Paul addresses the way believers should handle disagreements within the church, emphasizing that mature Christians seek God’s guidance together through prayer when differences arise. Paul calls the Philippians to imitate his example and the examples of other faithful believers like Timothy and Epaphroditus, who embodied Christ-like humility and service. He warns against following “enemies of the cross” - those who claim to be Christians but reject the Gospel’s true meaning, serving their own appetites, glorying in shameful things, and focusing solely on earthly matters.

    Philippians 3:12-16 explores Paul’s understanding of what truly matters in the Christian life. Paul teaches that we should not focus on externals (appearance, possessions, status, etc.) but on knowing Christ deeply. Paul openly shares his past - including his religious credentials and even his persecution of Christians - but views it through the lens of the Gospel.
