MVBC- Sunday Sermon Messages

As Paul comes to the end of his letter to the Philippians, his words of encouragement and grateful appreciation can also teach us about what giving and missionary partnerships should look like in the local church.

In Philippians 4:10-13, Paul reveals the secret to making it through whatever comes your way in life.

How does your prayer life compare – or differ – from your microwave?  Join us as we look at Paul’s words about worry and the path to peace in Philippians 4:4-7.

Philippians 4:8-9 shows us what to ponder and what to practice

How do we handle conflict in church?  What is essential and what is preference?  Paul’s handling of a conflict in the Philippian church thousands of years ago is still intensely relevant for us today.  Join us as we examine Philippians 4:2-3.

In Philippians 3:17-4:1, Paul reminds us of the ultimate realities of heaven and hell and exhorts us how to live between now and eternity.

Paul reminds us today of the calling we have received, the race to be run, and the prize that awaits.

In today's passage in Philippians, Paul gives his goal and it's a goal we are all challenged to make it our own.

There was a time when Paul could have put his confidence in his religious devotion.  But he came to see that as loss, and what was gain was knowing Christ.  And in Christ, Paul found a righteousness that was not his own but that was a gift from God, received by faith.  That same righteousness will be ours if we receive it by faith.

As we move into chapter 3, Paul gives us a delightful command to obey and then a warning to heed.
