God is our refuge in the midst of chaos - We do not fear (Ps 46:1-3)

God is in Holy City - He's in control (Ps 46:4-7)

God among his people - Be still and trust Him (Ps 46: 8-11)

Be thankful to God for the great gift of salvation, for His goodness, for all the benefits, and for everything all the time.

God sent His Son to the world as promised in the Scriptures beforehand in the right time. What does fullness of time mean? What was the political, cultural and spiritual situation of Palestine during the times of Jesus? The God who ordains everything in it's time does orchestrate the events of our lives.

When Jesus declared to the disciples on the road to Emmaus that the entire Old Testament is about him, it was an eye-opening claim. He is found in the every page of the Bible. The Scriptures are all about Him. In this sermon, the Messainic hope in the Old Testament is examined and it is connected to us - today!

Having laid the foundation that it's worth considering everything as trash in comparison to knowing Christ, Paul urges the Philippians to walk together as citizens of heaven.

Apostle Paul prescribes simple, consistent Christian walk to the Church at Philippi in the midst of persecution. This kind of life would give them peace that surpasses all knowledge.

- Beware of False Religion (Phil 3:1-3)

- Boast in Knowing the Lord (3:4-7)

- Worth counting everything loss to Know God (3:8-14)

True Unity in the Church is attained when it is rooted in the gospel (1:27-31). It's the work of the Triune God (2:1-2). Humility is the basis for the unity in the body of Christ (2:3-4)
