April 14, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:17-21As 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, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:12-16Paul 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. Hosted on Acast.

March 31, 2024Resurrection Sunday 2024The 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, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 3:1-9Paul 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. Hosted on Acast.

March 17, 2024Improbable Joy – Philippians 2:19-30Right 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....more27minPlay
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.
