Redeemer Rockwall

Paul encourages a weary and discouraged church to continue in faith, love and obedience. Be encouraged by the weight of Christs Love for you, and work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

A literal translation of this passage is "do nothing out of a hunger for glory". He pushing hard against the Roman culture of self exaltation. That same spirit is hard at work today in our culture. But the upside down gospel of Jesus says that if we seek humility then Christ will exalt us! He will lift us up!!! So wake up. Jesus is calling you to die to yourself and follow him. Will you answer?

We naturally live a very circumstantial life. We see the world and even Christ through the lens of circumstance. How would our lives change if we could learn to see circumstance through the lens of Christ? Like Paul we might be able to say in truth "To live is Christ, to die is gain"

It's a strange wisdom from Paul to say "This will turn out for my deliverance by life or by death" It seems wrong to think of our deliverance via death but there's a lot more going on in this story than we might think. Is he foolish? How is this even a question for Paul?? Paul sees a different world than we do. O Lord may we see the world like Paul. May we be fools for you. Spiritual people with a mind like Christ.

How does Paul speak of this un circumstantial joy while locked in a Roman in prison? It's because he recognized that God put him there. Paul's joy was not tethered to his comfort. Rather then asking God "why is this happening to me" he asked, "How can I be a part of what God is doing here?" So If you want joy that isn't tied to your circumstances, pray like Paul... "Lord use me today, my life is at your disposal."

We begin a new series on the book of Philippians this week. What is Paul saying to the struggling church? He says he is certain that God is at work in them, and that he's going to finish what he started. Maybe you are disenchanted with the church? Or hurt by it? But Christ started His work in the church... And he's going to finish the work he started! Don't miss out on this promise! Join the people of God together in worship and watch what he does!

Jesus is the Vine. We are the branches. The Cross is the trellis. We can only find life if we are in the vine. A branch has no root. How do we do that? It's simple. And It's found in John 15

There's a volume war going on. The "Thief" is trying to fill your ears with voices that will steal, kill, and destroy. Do you know the voice of the "Good Shepherd"? Can you tell the difference? Listen closely, Jesus is calling.

Pauls letter to Philemon tells a great story with a greater message. And It's all about reconciliation. We, like Paul, are called ministers of reconciliation. So how do we reconcile ourselves to those who have wronged us? And who do we need to reconcile with?

So.... Easter was awesome! We brought our best, and felt really great, but here we are a week after easter and we find ourselves still tethered to this broken world. So what happens now? What should life look like after resurrection? It's a risen life! You were "Raised With Him" so set your eyes on on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the father and live!
