April 28, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:4-9
Robert Leahy, a psychologist, said the average high school student today has the same level of anxiety as an average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s. Anxiety and depression are rampant in our culture, and many point to the rise of the smartphone back in 2010. We are constantly aware of what we don’t have, who we are not with, and the decline of the culture. Paul speaks to this in his letter to Philippi when he says, “Don’t be anxious about anything…” In other words, stop perpetually (habitually) worrying because it will become a part of who you are. Anxiety involves fear or worry that you can’t control. Depression is a persistent feeling of sadness.

April 21, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:1-3
Love is the hallmark of the church, even before Truth, holiness, and integrity. He calls them his “joy and crown”. He is saying that they are his reward and he finds joy in them. Paul tells the church to “stand firm”. This is a military term for a soldier standing in a battle and not retreating. Pastor Alex said this morning, “When life gets sideways, don’t scoot over or out…scoot in”. Personal conflict must be addressed, or else the entire church will suffer.

April 14, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:17-21
As we pursue Jesus (Philippians 3:12-16), Paul writes here how we have an example to follow, a kingdom to belong to, and a future to hope in as followers of Christ. We must be mindful of the examples we follow and those we set for others. The goal of our example is not perfection, but faithfulness in following Jesus as we rely on the grace of God in our lives.

April 07, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:12-16
Paul said he considered everything done in his own merits as “loss” (i.e. rubbish, trash) compared to knowing Jesus as Lord. Paul challenges us to follow his example (“One thing I do… v.13) and accept the invitation to press on into an ever-growing walk with the Savior, Jesus. Even Paul, who had walked with Christ for 30 years had not “arrived.” He humbly says, “not that I have already obtained this” (v.12). Paul’s invitation is to continue to progress.

March 31, 2024 Resurrection Sunday 2024
The power that raised Christ up from the dead now operates in our lives since we haven been “raised with Christ”. His resurrection power in you can break every addiction, can break the shame, can destroy bondages, can break the stronghold of lust, can restore your marriage, and can break the hold of anxiety and depression. But that doesn't mean we will never feel suffering or sorrow. If we follow the Man of Sorrows, we too, will walk through suffering and sorrow. If you want to know Christ more than anything in life, and if it’s through suffering for Him that you’ll know Him better, it will be worth it, and you will actually find joy in it.

This doesn’t mean that we should suffer on the cross. That was for Jesus alone. Instead, this means that suffering for the gospel brings us closer to Jesus. Suffering doesn’t have to weaken our faith, it can actually serve to make it stronger.

March 24, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:1-9
Paul begins this section of his letter by reminding the church in Philippi that the church is protected from legalism and false gospels by hearing the gospel regularly and knowing Him. Salvation is about knowing Jesus. It doesn’t mean merely to know about Him; it means that you have a relationship with Him.

March 17, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:19-30
Right here in the middle of Paul’s letter, he does something a little unexpected. He gives us living examples of men worth imitating.

We were not built to live life alone. A life with good friends is a good life.

March 10, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:14-18
We live in a twisted and morally bent world. It is easy to be disgusted and always avoid those that are not believers in Jesus. We can’t forget that without Jesus, we would be just as hopeless. But when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them (Matt 9:36). Remember that those who are in that crooked and twisted darkness have an eternity waiting for them which should compel us to be compassionate for them. When we choose to live with an improbable joy rather than grumbling, and to shine like lights in the world…things will change.

February 25, 2024 Union with Christ
While we would most often describe ourselves as “Christians” we should remember the way followers of Jesus were most often described in the New Testament letters is being “in Christ”. Union with Christ is like the central hub of a bicycle wheel with many key components of our faith (salvation, sanctification, glorification, etc.) connected to it. We should never read too quickly over the words, “in Christ” and similar phrases in Scripture as they show us God’s incredible plan for our lives.
