If we're to have the submissive mind and the joy that goes with it, we must recognize that there is a purpose to achieve (God's plan for our lives), a power to receive (the Holy Spirit), and a promise to believe. Pastor Leger unpacks this promise in today's message from Philippians chapter two.

Do you know Jesus? Does it show? While the Bible teaches we cannot work to earn our salvation, we must work to show that we are a part of the family of God. This is clear by Paul's words in chapter 3 and the writings of James. Listen today as Pastor Leger unpacks Paul's potentially confusing challenge to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Are we working together? Or does our pride get in the way? In today's message, the Apostle Paul gives a very moving encouragement to humbly work together for the cause of Christ. "Others" is the key to this portion of Paul's letter. Why did Jesus die on the cross? For others. Why should we do what do? For others. Listen along as Pastor Leger unpacks this very important message from Paul.

The Christian life is not a playground; it is a battleground. We are sons in the family, enjoying the fellowship of the Gospel (Phil. 1:1–11); we are servants sharing in the furtherance of the Gospel (Phil. 1:12–26); but we are also soldiers defending the faith of the Gospel. And the believer with the single mind can have the joy of the Holy Spirit even in the midst of battle. Let's be confident as we spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Paul wanted to go to Rome as a preacher, but instead he went as a prisoner! Not exactly what he had planned. God has a way of accomplishing His plan in spite of our best efforts otherwise. What we learn today from the Apostle Paul is how he dealt with his crisis. We must be willing to put His kingdom first if we are going to share in the furtherance of the Gospel.

Paul wanted to go to Rome as a preacher, but instead he went as a prisoner! Not exactly what he had planned. God has a way of accomplishing His plan in spite of our best efforts otherwise. What we learn today is God can use our adversity to advance His mission. We must be flexible and watch for opportunities in the most unlikely circumstances.

Paul moves from thanksgiving to prayer in this portion of his letter to the Philippians. Paul acknowledges that the good done in the Philippians' lives came from God. As a part of his response in praise, he prayed that God would continue His work in them.

The appearance of the Savior had been long awaited. But the hour finally arrived. This Savior was not born in a hospital, but in a stable. The announcement of this miraculous birth was first announced to humble shepherds. How fitting that the Lamb of God was born in a stable. Listen as Pastor Leger unpacks this announcement.

Some things come with a lifetime guarantee. But there is nothing I know of that comes with an eternal guarantee. Except maybe our salvation. In this verse the Apostle Paul is very confident of one thing. He is sure that God will complete our salvation when Jesus returns. That's good news.
