1. God’s Foretold Son in Hindsight 2. God’s Wayward Son in Jeopardy 3. God’s Well-Pleasing Son in Perfection Main Idea: Since Christ is the only begotten Son of God, seek God’s love and favor only through him

Paul's letter to the Philippians shows us that sometimes the most fruitful way the gospel message is made known is through suffering. That puts us in a quandary! For who wants to suffer? Listen and find out about a joy that not only sustains us in seasons of suffering but even equips us for evangelism.

 

 Where is God when it seems like the world is falling apart? Psalm 83 shows us that God is not silent about evil and the brokenness of the world. Instead, he always is at the work of restoring all things to his glory.

Main idea: Since God’s light can reach us, we are never beyond restoration. Sermon Points: 1. The Light We Need Shining (vv.1-3) 2. A Light Too Near (vv.4-7) 3. A Light Too Distant (vv.8-13) 4. The Light That Restores (vv.14-19)
