Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin looks at Philippians 4:14-20. Paul brings his letter to a close by continuing to reflect on contentment with God's provision. In these verses he shows us how contentment gives way to generosity. The Philippians were generous with their resources for the sake of the gospel because they gained the unimaginable treasure of Jesus Christ.

In this teaching, Pastor Clint looks at Philippians 4:10-13. How can we be content in a world that constantly tells us we need more? In this passage, Paul shows us that true contentment is not dependent upon our circumstances. With our eyes fixed on Christ, we can learn to be content in both abundance and in need because the source of true contentment is unshakeable - Jesus Christ.

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin look at Philippians 4:1-9. As Paul begins wrapping up his letter to the Philippian church, he exhorts him to pursue gospel-peace in every area of life: relationships, spirituality, and in their thinking. What if our lives were marked by this supernatural and holistic peace that can't be thwarted by anything?

In this teaching, Pastor Clint looks at Philippians 3:12-21. Here, Paul reflects on our citizenship in heaven. One day, we who believe will have complete knowledge of God and full righteousness in heaven. In light of the gospel, we should press on to obtain the reward of future glory. A vision of our eternal destination makes all the difference for how we live our lives today.

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin looks at Philippians 3:1-11. Paul speaks firmly and passionately against a false gospel that threatens the church. To add to the gospel is to distort it and lose it altogether. So what is true saving faith? It is forsaking all self-sufficiency and knowing the surpassing worth of Christ in the free grace of the gospel.

In this teaching, Pastor Clint looks at Philippians 2:12-30. Paul doesn't pretend that living a humble life of obedience is easy. The Christian life is one of holy effort and obedience. Paul continues to show us what this life looks like in practice, while also encouraging us that such obedience comes from the work of Christ in us. We work out what Christ has worked in us.

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin looks at Philippians 2:1-11. In this passage, we're exhorted to walk in humility as followers of Christ. But how do we who are so prone to self-exaltation consider others more significant than ourselves? Paul shows us that the power to live humbly is found in Christ who is first our savior then our example. In Christ, we see the great paradox of the Christian life -- the way to true exaltation is through humility.

In this teaching, Pastor Clint looks at Philippians 1:19-30. Paul again repeats the theme of rejoicing in any circumstance, even the possibility of death for the sake of the Gospel. He is so confident in God that he is willing to live for Christ or to die and be with Christ. Such confidence should mark our lives as well. Like Paul, we who are citizens of heaven are to live in a manner that is worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this teaching, Pastor Kevin looks at Philippians 1:12-18. Paul reminds the church in Philippi that the Gospel is progressing in unique ways even in the midst of his imprisonment. Suffering is not a hindrance to God's mission -- it's a providential means by which he advances the gospel through his people. Are we living on mission in the midst of our present crisis? One of the greatest ways we can celebrate Easter Sunday is by considering the mission of God to bring the good news of our risen Christ to those far from him.

In this teaching, Pastor Clint looks at Philippians 1:1-11. As Paul begins his letter he prays for his partners in ministry to experience gratitude, confidence, and fruitfulness despite trial and suffering.
