May 12, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:14-23
Paul’s persecution, affliction, distress, opposition, and tribulation all pressed hard on his soul. Paul is grateful to the Philippian church for bearing that burden with him in fellowship. He knows he’s not alone. Grace is unmerited, undeserved favor in the lives of God’s people. It is the wellspring and the heartbeat of the Christian life. The believers in Philippi had already received saving grace at the time of their regeneration, but Paul desires that they know more of this sanctifying grace in their Christian walk. This will enable them to live in a manner that glorifies God, and to do so with joy…an improbably joy!

May 05, 2024 Improbable Joy – Philippians 4:10-13
Being “In Christ” means being completely consumed by God’s lavish love. Being “in” is the closet relationship one can have. As followers of Jesus, because God loves Jesus FULLY, God loves us FULLY. No more, no less. (John 17:26).

As a result of knowing this secret to contentment, we should “rejoice in the Lord always”. Rejoicing fosters the awareness of the relationship you have with Jesus.

Remember, identity comes before contentment!

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.
