The Connection Church

Have you ever been in a situation and had no idea how you got there? Has temptation come knocking, and now you’re wondering why you gave in and accepted the invitation? God wants us to be an overwhelming conqueror in all of the trials, tests, and temptations that we face. We can have victory as long as we Don’t Take the Bait of temptation.

The last few weeks, we talked about trusting God in the “what” even when we cannot see the “why.” We also shared about the importance of the mind and seeing things from a different perspective. Join us as we conclude the Change Your Perspective sermon series exploring Paul’s letter to the Philippians, as we complete our discussion of a new perspective on worrying from last week and discover a fresh perspective for daily living.

What you’ve experienced in your life usually determines what you see. Paul had experienced many things in his life, and because of those experiences, he was able to instruct the Philippian church to let go of the weights and burdens of the past and rejoice in the Lord. He gave them a different perspective on worry and trusting in the Lord. Paul changed his perspective to things that really matter, and we can too!

In 16 different places in Philippians, Paul talks about the mind. He also writes about the mind in many, if not all, of his other letters. James writes in his epistle, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” So the subject of the mind is obviously of the utmost importance in our study on changing our perspectives to line up with the Word of God. Join us as we share several mind-shifts that are imperative to experiencing a joy-filled life.

There is an unmistakable theme that runs throughout Paul’s letter to the Philippians: joy. Philippians has even been referred to as the “joy book.” You will find joy or rejoice or something similar at least 19 times in its 4 chapters. Paul was a man who had the joy of the Lord working in his life. This joy didn’t come from perfect circumstances or the perfect life; it came from having a changed perspective.

Statistics show that more telephone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. This special day is also the third highest selling holiday for flowers and plants, and it is the busiest time of the year for restaurants. We have no problems celebrating the day, but do we honor our mothers as the scriptures command? Join us  as we explore ways to honor and love our mothers not only on this special occasion but every day.

We all know basic right from wrong, yet so many of us still make the choice to do the wrong thing at certain times. Even the great Apostle Paul struggled. Paul said in Romans 7:15 NLT “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.” Despite his struggles, Paul still strived to live righteously; he had a Passion for Righteousness!

Sadly, it’s plain to see that the church in America is not perfect. Sometimes it seems that we can barely go a week without reading about another fallen minister. And we have seen worldly philosophies gain a foothold in many churches, and with them, the acceptance of sin in too many Christian circles. However, God, through His Spirit, is speaking to the church to regain its Passion for Righteousness. Join us as we seek after living righteously—therein we will find joy, protection, and abundant life!
