November 06, 2023 Philippians: Citizens of Heaven.
As well as persecution and conflict, it’s clear from this week’s passage,
that the church in Philippi was also dealing with the age-old problem of
false-teaching from within. Paul, who is never anything but crystal clear
about how to deal with anything or anyone that would infiltrate, distract
or dilute the central message of Jesus’ saving power in His churches,
reminds his friends of who they are (making some fascinating tangential
remarks about maturity, and what it looks like, along the way.) To a city
built on a colonist’s mindset he makes the searing statement: You are
citizens of heaven, NOT to keep their eyes focussed on future glory (in
this instance) but to reverse that logic. It is your highest call, to bring
the ways of heaven (its love, justice, and humility) to earth! To meet your
universal human condition, wired for tribal belonging and expansion, with a
totally other kind of existence. A challenge surely as relevant to us
today, as it ever was!

October 30, 2023 Philippians: Surpassing worth.
Paul warns against valuing things which squeeze Jesus out as being our
supreme value. Culture puts a high value on success, money, fame,
intelligence and beauty amongst other things. Religion values outward
performance and empty tradition. From time to time we need to reevaluate
our values. Our faith can slide into performance. Our hearts are always
susceptible to going after culture’s values. Paul calls us to worship the
living God as a safeguard and antidote to these. It’s in the presence of
Jesus that we see him for who he is again. And here, we can both die to
that which robs us of life, and be resurrected to the life of fullness that
Jesus promises.

October 16, 2023 Philippians: Whatever happens.
Paul faces two outcomes: life or death. In the uncertainty of this
situation he remains confident of one thing: his future is wrapped up in
Jesus’ presence. This is the case with us in every uncertain and ambiguous
situation. It’s in this light that Paul encourages the church - with its
disunity and fearfulness - to continue to live out their faith because it
is the Spirit that establishes us in Christ. So, in “whatever happens,” we
can be confident that Jesus is the ground we can stand on. He supplies the
Spirit and others as evidence of his present and coming kingdom.

October 09, 2023 Philippians: Rejoice.
Paul is able to rejoice in the most difficult circumstances. He’s a great
example for us: He is certain that God’s purposes for the world will win
out nevertheless and despite these trials (the Gospel is preached in and
outside the prison); He recognizes that God’s purposes for his own life
will win out through these trials (God is using them to deepen Paul’s
experience of salvation); and He has one singular focus: ‘to live is
Christ’. So career, family, relationships whilst important, if threatened,
will not derail him. When we follow him in establishing our lives on these
three foundations, we can live in peace and with joy even in the toughest
of times.

October 02, 2023 Philippians: Good work.
As we kick off our series on Philippians, we find a powerful origin story
of the church at Philippi in Acts 16: where two women of wildly different
social statuses find deliverance through Jesus. Paul and friends are then
thrown into prison, bound, and they worship the Living God deep into the
midnight hours. In the midst of their worship we have a dramatic
prison-break—an earthquake shakes them out of their chains. About a decade
later, Paul writes to this small church in Philippi, reminding them of his
love for them in Christ. Picking up in Philippians chapter 1, we will
explore the power of the Spirit’s kind voice, resilient joy in suffering,
and the insistence that Jesus will finish the work he began in us.
