It is easy to interpret silence as absence.

However, God’s silence didn’t mean He wasn’t working, it didn’t mean He didn’t care and it didn’t mean He didn’t love His people.

We know this by remembering so many prophecies fulfilled in Jesus. And now, Jesus asks us to remember His promises - which will one day be fulfilled.

So, in the silence, cling to those promises with hope - hope in a future with God where purposes are revealed and promises fulfilled.

We are worshipping all together online today! See you at 9:30 AM on Sunday morning as we finish our series on Philippians, “A Letter From Prison.”

Perseverance is the goal. Not perfection. Even Paul had not achieved this yet. And this is the guy who wrote most of the New Testament and almost single-handedly spread the gospel all across the world! But Paul presses on, progresses in his faith, advancing in his knowing of Jesus, He perseveres towards the goal, the goal of walking with God and slowly becoming more and more like Him! This perseveance isn’t about being perfect for God. It is about walking with Jesus’s perfection and allowing Him to approve of us and transform us. Jesus sets us free from having to be perfect!

Here are some questions to ponder this week:

1.) What are the “dogs” in your life forcing you to work for your value and worth and love in Jesus?

2.) Do you find confidence and contentment and love in knowing God? Why and how?

3.) What are your “goals” for your life? Do they line up with Jesus? If not, should they? Why?

Perseverance is tough. It is very difficult. But it is worth it. Because Jesus is worthy it. And so are you.

You are loved, Believe it!

Welcome to our series, “A Letter From Prison: Choosing Jesus Over Our Circumstances”. During this series we will be taking a bird’s eye view of the letter of Philippians, exploring Paul’s imprisonment, his hardships and circumstances and his example of seeking and choosing Christ inspite of his burdens. Each week during the month of November we will tackle and work through a chapter of Philippians.

This week we are looking into Philippians 2, probably one of the most famous passages in the New Testament and perhaps the greatest description of who Jesus is and how we as His people are called to live!
