Speaker: Pastor Christine Phillips

Originally Recorded: Sep 1, 2019

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

We chase what’s trending because we’re looking for fulfillment.

Whats trending around us is often not true

So often what’s trending is simply someone else chasing an empty dream

“It’s impossible to live the right life when you have the wrong friends”

-Craig Groeschel

Whats trending moves us to action (or inaction)

Big Idea:

If what’s trending in you is not bending you to where God wants you to be, then you’re not following God.
