March 10, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:14-18We 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. Hosted on Acast.

February 25, 2024Union with ChristWhile 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. Hosted on Acast.

February 18, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:12-13You work FROM your salvation (Phil 3:8-9). To “work out” is like working out a math problem. As the progression of the work is shown, we can see how we get to participate in God’s big picture. We see this in salvation:Justification – We were savedSanctification – We are being savedGlorification – We will be saved Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....more35minPlay
February 11, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:5-11This is one of the most definitive passages in all of Scripture as it relates to Jesus’ preexistence and His divine nature. There was never a time when Jesus didn’t exist. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Paul goes on to say that Jesus existed “in the form of God”. In other words, the outward manifestation of His divine glory was veiled, and only His outward appearance of full humanity was seen. Jesus was fully man and fully God. Hosted on Acast.

February 04, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:1-4Unity in the gospel isn’t the first something we produce. God gives it to us in Christ, and it is our job to foster and nurture that gift. Unity is not uniformity. It doesn’t mean sameness, that we all believe all the same things about the same things, but at the heart, and in the end, there is a like-mindedness in what matters most – getting the gospel right and longing for it to advance. Our minds shape our hearts which allows us to feel emotion which then manifests in our lives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....more34minPlay
January 28, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 1:27-30As citizens of heaven, live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ. Grace has made them citizens of a heavenly city; in their far-off land they are the “mini heavenly homeland”; heaven’s laws are their laws, and their privileges are heaven’s privileges. Paul was imploring them to look to Christ and to not to Caesar for their model. The same could be said of us in the USA today. Hosted on Acast.

January 21, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 1: 19-26We will all have a death day, and we do not know when it is coming... Understanding this truth can bring us a sense of joy because we know what and where eternity is. Live so that others may grow in Christ.Live so that Christ may be glorified in me through life and death. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....more36minPlay
January 14, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 1:12-18Paul has lived through a riot, has been shipwrecked, has been in prison, and more. He sees all of this through the lens of the gospel. He has had some really hard times. He has suffered, but He has a bigger perspective about it. Suffering forms us more into the likeness of Jesus Christ. We have all either suffered and come out of it, are in the “hard” of suffering now, or will suffer at some point in our lifetime. It is a part of the reality of living in a fallen world. We must remember that we do not live for this life alone. It won’t always be this way. If we are in Christ, our reality is that we will spend eternity with no suffering! Hosted on Acast.

January 07, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 1:1-11Love is not an emotion, but an act of the will. God defines love as the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. All other attempts to define love lead to chaos. If our love is just pure emotion without discretion or direction, it can bring devastation. it needs guardrails. If you just place feeling above knowledge, you are dangerous. You can feel one way one day and another way another day. Love is NOT letting another Christian do whatever he or she want to do. It is making sure they are living within the guardrails that God set up. Discernment, the other guardrail, means to be perceptive and understand the times, the situations, the people you are interacting with. Hosted on Acast.
