Joy-filled Heavenly Residency (Philippians 3:17–4:7). Do you live in opposition to Christ focused on dwelling in this broken world? Or will you imitate Paul to take up residency in Christ? The power of the resurrection enables to rejoice always – because our residence is transformed. Live rent free in Heaven.

Loss Of Confident Flesh (Philippians 3:1–16). Do we rejoice more in the works of our human effort than we do in the work of Christ? Everything we do gets multiplied by Zero at our death and judgment. I want to gain Christ and know the power of his resurrection!

Fearful Quaking Salvation (Philippians 2:12–33). We are to live out our salvation together without grumbling and quarreling. We should be glad and rejoice when God’s children shine clinging to the Word of Life. Who is pouring themselves in genuine concern for God’s people?

If Any Human Likeness (Philippians 2:1–11). Christ took on complete human likeness, being obedient to God in death. His obedience is our encouragement, comfort and grace. Will we embrace our likeness to Christ by being completely human trusting God all the way too?

Chained Christ Certainty (Philippians 1:12-30). How can we make the wild claim that suffering advances the Gospel? The reality of the cross. God uses even unholy Christians to advance the gospel because the power is in the Word, not the ministers.

Committed Christ Affection (Philippians 1:1-11). We are saints and servants of Christ bought with a price. Do we thank God for fellow Christians? Are we committed to grow in Christ love more and more?

Ongoing Apostolic Acts (Acts 28:17-31). The conclusion of Acts emphasizes the work of the Kingdom, the expansion of the gospel, the sharing of the Gospel and the enlightening work of the Holy Spirit. How does the Acts of the Apostles continuing?

Welcomed Honored Prisoner (Acts 28:1-16). Safely on shore they are welcomed by people of peace. Paul winters for 3 months healing and teaching the faith. Then he encounters Christians who welcome him and encourage him. He is not alone. Where are you seeing God blessed coincidences?

Shipwrecked To Deliverance (Acts 27:27-44). After two weeks of being driven by storms, Paul gives thanks to God and enjoys a meal. He trusts the God of promises that no one will be lost?

Nonsensical Nautical Prophesies (Acts 27:9-26). Why would you listen to spiritual prophesies over the advise of seasoned experts? In the storm that cause loss and fear they are reminded to trust the God who makes promises. Still, are we ready run aground?
