Today people are increasingly labeling themselves as spiritual but not religious. This could have a number of definitions and meanings depending on who you ask.There is, however, a Biblical form of spirituality. Paul gives final appeals to the church so they might promote unity and continue to promote the Gospel. They are a unit, a church, but they must individually pursue these essentials of Christian Spirituality. www.heredeems.com

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most abused passages today. From coffee cups to athletes shoes and eye black this verse has come to mean exactly the opposite of what Paul intended when he wrote it. Taking the immediate context of these verses in Philippians the background of Paul's life the truth of these text emerges.

In the conclusion of Philippians we see three results of Gospel partnership. The church is never called to produce results. We are however, called to faithfulness. When we are faithful, God produces results. www.heredeems.com

Guest speaker Philip Tallman preaches on Psalm 96 and elaborates on what Biblical worship looks like. Worship, is the inevitable result of theology. The more we know God the more we worship. www.heredeems.com

We have a great need to see theology that is alive. In this section of scripture Paul updates the Philippians on his future plans for them. These plans include sending them living examples of the Christian life. www.heredeems.com

In this section Paul alludes to the Old Testament three times. Each time revealing to the Philippians a facet of what it looks like to be obedient to what he has already asked them to do. www.heredeems.com

What does Paul mean when he says: "Work out your salvation?" In the context of this letter there must be some type of corporate aspect to this statement. Also, Paul is not contradicting himself about what he writes elsewhere about salvation being not of works is he? Listen and find out. www.heredeems.com

The type of humility Paul has urged the Philippians to in 2:1-4 is best illustrated in Christ. Paul's great illustration takes us inside the mind of Christ and from here we see the entirety of history explained through the perspective of Jesus Christ who is: the eternal Son of God, The Word of God made flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, The exalted King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and one to whom every knee will bow. We are to have his mind. The mind of humility. www.heredeems.com

Paul strongly urges the Philippians to action. What Action? Complete my joy. The Philippian church has the ability to increase Paul's joy. He urges them to persue unity through humility. www.heredeems.com

The Bible never teaches that we are worthy, or can make ourselves worthy, of earning the grace of God in salvation. However, Paul does teach that those who have experienced the grace of God and are now Christians, should be living lives that are worthy of the Gospel now that they are saved. What does he mean by this? You might be surprised. www.heredeems.com
