The book of Philippians is widely known for a handful of famous passages and its practical encouragement. However, what else do we know about this letter? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? Who was it written to? Do the answers to these questions help us understand and live out what is found in this text? Of course! Today we will explore the context of the book of Philippians and discuss some specific titles that are mentioned in the first few verses. I pray that this simple overview will help us to not overlook details that matter as we seek to understand and follow what Scripture teaches.

"On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

New year, New you? Life transformation begins with Jesus. We are commanded to be transformed through the renewal of our mind. This process requires evaluation of the past, envisioning where we need to go, and implementation of a plan.

The story of Christmas is the clearest picture of God’s love. He took the initiative and provided a way for us to be in relationship with Him again through Jesus Christ. God loves us so much that He is constantly drawing us to Himself that we might respond with a full surrender. In our passage today we will encounter some men called the “magi” who are looking for the King of the Jews right after the birth of Christ. This story is much more than a historical narrative because it shows us how far God will go to draw us to Himself. The question that we must answer today is how will we respond to such overwhelming love?

Love comes from God and was relieved through Jesus Christ. We respond to this by receiving and sharing that love with others.

"On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

When God made the world and created human beings, everything was good and there was peace. However, once sin entered the world through disobedience, it caused chaos, division and unrest with God and one another. The arrival of Jesus brought comprehensive peace that has past, present and future implications. As we celebrate the advent of Christ we are reminded that Jesus brought peace into the world and will continue to do so until He returns when all things will be fully and completely at rest once again.

True Revival is a demonstration of the power of God and not just a response to human effort. God has all power and desires to meet our needs, set us free, heal our bodies, and most importantly, save our souls. We don’t just want His power, we actually need it. In our message today we will discuss how essential the power of God is for the Christian, the Church, and the world around us.
