In a world filled with cynicism, negativity, and despair, the book of Philippians serves as a refreshing and transformative reminder of the importance of choosing joy. In Philippians, we are invited to embrace a joy-filled perspective on life, even amidst challenging circumstances. Throughout this sermon series, we will be challenged to reevaluate our perspectives and attitudes, exchanging cynicism for joy. The book of Philippians will serve as a guide, reminding us that joy is a choice we make everyday.

Show Notes:

Have you ever seen rebellious obedience? You know, obedience on the outside with a rebellious heart on the inside? Have you ever been rebelliously obedient?

Over the next few weeks we are studying Jonah, a prophet, who ultimately did what God had told him to do, but not with a willing heart. From the beginning of the book, Jonah runs from God and never really stops, even when the Lord causes circumstances the make him obey. In his heart, he continues to run.

Jonah’s is a biblical story that was important to Jesus, so it should be important to us.

Jonah’s is a biblical story of someone who is just like us, so let’s learn from it.

When God's people are faithful, God Multiplies His work in and through them. We have seen this in the recent years of First Moss Bluff, and now God has graciously given us another opportunity to be faithful, and watch Multiplication happen. Multiply is about a promise God made to expand His church as we follow the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20: Therefore, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always. Multiply is our opportunity to be faithful to God's mission, vision, and calling for our church in our time, just as those who came before us were faithful in their time and handed us this wonderful church. Join us, as we seek to Multiply God's work in and through our lives and our church.
