Join us now as we begin an encouraging and edifying walk through Paul's letter to the Philippians. The apostle Paul knew the incomparable treasure, unsurpassed power and joy found in knowing Christ. To compromise and redirect the focus of his worship towards anything other than Jesus was not an option for Paul, nor should it be for us. Nothing compares to the immeasurable joy in knowing the love of Christ. Paul reminds us that as Christ-followers, we can rejoice in the knowledge that our citizenship is not here on earth, but we are indeed Citizens of Heaven!
From sunrise and sunset, we need the Lord. For strength, courage, bravery, compassion, and faith does not happen from our own merits, but by the Lord's grace. As we go throughout our week, we encounter situations and people that need Him. In this message, Pastor Robbie preaches on the encouragement the Lord gave Paul when he faces dissent and persecution. Cling to the Lord's Word, for he will never forsake you!

Most people would agree that it is not very difficult to reciprocate love to someone who loves and treats you well. We'll even go to extreme lengths to demonstrate affection to those we care for, no matter the cost. But what about people who dislike, hurt, persecute or even, hate you? In our flesh, it seems unreasonable to expect someone to return love for hate, and kindness for cruelty, but that is exactly what Jesus calls us to do! Christ consistently showed love and compassion towards his enemies, even washing Judas' feet while knowing that Judas would betray him the following day. Jesus loved us and died for us when we were still his enemies and did not know him. He demonstrates true, unconditional love as an example to emmulate. We are not to love as the world loves, but to love exceptionally, as Jesus did. The bar has been raised!
