When the Past knocks, don't answer - it has nothing new to say.  Paul said he 'forgot' (ignored) the past list of accomplishments that he now put in the category of sewage.  He's too busy pushing, straining, reaching ahead for the glory of King Jesus.

If parenting wasn’t hard enough, wondering if you’re doing it correctly adds to the stress and effort. Advice abounds in countless books, blogs, websites, and seminars—some of it can be helpful, some is common sense, some is actually harmful. So how do you discern the good from the bad—the true from the false—when it comes to parenting? 

What does it take to raise your kids in a way that invites the Lord’s blessing on your family?

Are you growing your Kids God’s Way?

What are you counting on to please God enough to keep you out of Hell? 

Paul’s answer - certianly nothing that I have done.  I’m counting on my Master King Jesus & His perfect record which is given to me by faith.  The Flesh will fail you.  Faith will see you home.

Paul takes the gloves off in our text today as he says some not so nice things about the Judiazers and then goes on to leave us with 3 unmistakable marks of a circumcised heart.

May God give us ears to hear what the Spirit has to say to the Church today.

Veteran Missionary Pastor Seth Lewis asks a poignant question in today's challenge from Philippians 2 - Is the Church Worth it and if so, why?

Listen as he unpacks the text to deliver the truthful answer from the pen of Paul & the heart of God.  This is a teaching that we need to come back to again & again.

Re-Model, Re-Pair, Re-Do.  "Re" means "Again".  Re-Joice means to Re-Visit the Joy of the Lord's Salvation.  Have you gotten over your Redemption?  Take a listen, repent & rejoice.

Epaphroditus.  Who was that guy named after Aphrodites?  Paul says he was a Brother, Servant, Soldier, Messenger, and a Minister.  He was the picture of Slavitude.  He lost himself in King Jesus and adopted His humble attitude in order to risk his life for others.  J.O.Y. was definitely in the right order for him.  What's that got to do with you?  Listen & find out.

"Slavitude": The attitude of a Slave.  But not just any slave.  A bondslave.  Loved, cherished, purchased at a high cost..Beloved.  In today's text, Philippians 2:19-24, we will find Paul & Timothy as a model for the humble attitude of a slave of our King.  We will remember King Jesus as the penultimate example of "Slavitude".  "Christ is the Christian's model.  These men (Paul, Timothy & Epaphroditus) are model Christians"

Today we are reminded of the Sanctity of Life & what a Righteous response might look like for the Church in the days ahead.

Living out our Salvation is called Sanctification.  Listen as Pastor Jay lays out this truth & shows us from our text exactly what that takes and what it looks like.
