Renewal Church

This Sunday, we conclude our study on the Book of Philippians with one of the most recognizable statements in all of Scripture:

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me“ (Philippians 4:13).

These words were written by the Apostle Paul from prison, unjustly incarcerated for preaching the gospel in the Roman Empire. Facing an uncertain future of ongoing pain and maybe even the temptation to despair, he recognized God‘s invitation – to grow further in an unshakable contentment and an uncanny peace provided for him in Christ.

Will we also accept this invitation?

Sunday, Sep 25
Philippians 3:12-21

We’re taking a few weeks to reflect on or most deeply held values. This week, we are continuing to restate our “why” related to gathering together. According to Ephesians 4, spiritual maturity is not an individual burden, but one we all bear together. Spiritual maturity is our growth together as a body of believers. Specifically, we grow in the skill of love. Enduring, forgiving, restorative, life-giving love for one another.

We’re taking a few weeks to reflect on or most deeply held values. Last week, we restated our desire that the Gospel of Jesus Christ be our everything — our starting line, our finish line, and what propels us. This week, we are restating our “why” related to gathering together. According to Ephesians 4, spiritual maturity is not an individual burden, but one we all bear together. Spiritual maturity is our growth together as a body of believers. Specifically, we grow in the skill of love. Enduring, forgiving, restorative, life-giving love for one another.
