I. Embrace your true identity, v13 II. Embrace your only home, vv14-16a. III. Embrace your high privilege, v16b.

This week, Pastor Jon dives deep into Jesus' transformative message in the Sermon on the Mount.In Matthew 5:1-3; 17-20, Jesus sets the stage for a radical shift in how we live as citizens of the Kingdom of God. Through the powerful image of Jesus as the true and better Moses, we discover how His teachings challenge the very foundation of worldly values. "Blessed are the poor in spirit," Jesus says—an invitation to humility, transformation, and a life marked by God's kingdom, not by earthly measures of success. This sermon isn't just good advice—it's a call to a new way of living. Are you ready to embrace the radical transformation that Jesus offers?

Philippians 3: 17 - 21

by Jonny Sharp

today we are wrapping up our sermon series! As we study the last passage of the book of Philippians, let's reflect on how we can become more like Jesus every day!

Calvary Bible Chapel

Katie Souza joins Liz for a powerful episode on living as bi-locational people. We are supernatural, bi-locational beings because we are seated in heavenly places in Christ! Our destiny is to become superhuman in our physical bodies. All the resources of Heaven are available to us, we just need to tune our awareness into our reality! Related MaterialsThe most important revelation we can get is that we are loved by God. And from this awareness, we get to live from Love, together with the Person of Love. This experience changes everything, because His love is the very power-source for new creation life.

Thanksgiving 2024 by Dr. David Rieke The post What All the Citizens of Heaven Know About Thanks and Praise appeared first on Avalon Hills Bible Church.

Live as citizens of heaven.

Synopsis: First Paul is generous in his gratitude to the Philippians for the generous gratitude they have shown him. Paul then goes on to encourage the Philippians by explaining how God has taught him true contentment. Lastly, Paul concludes his letter in the same spirit of brotherly affection and grace with which he opened the letter. Sermon Text: Philippians 4:10-23

We are citizens of heaven and are bonded with our great God and other worshipers of Him.

Join us as Michael Grooms delivers his lesson titled, "Citizens of Heaven".

Synopsis: Peace is given to us and yet we also must strive to sustain it. Not just some nebulous spiritual “inner peace” but our peace with one another. It is attained in Christ and maintained in Christ. Paul closes out his epistle by addressing the lack of unity head-on. The conflicts in Philippi need to end, for the saints serve the God of Peace. We keep the peace with one another by agreeing in the Lord, by calmly and joyfully praying to the Lord with thanksgiving, and by meditating on and imitating the holiness of God. Philippians 4:1-9

Philippians 3:17-21

We claim to be "one nation under God" and yet our nation doesn't reflect the fruits of the Spirit. How do we influence our nation to be a beacon for the Gospel and not continue down the road of pride and sin?As Christians, we need to be praying for our Nation!We are called to be change in the world.We have a responsibility to represent Jesus in the political arena.I will not excuse myself from the truth that my greatest responsibility isn't to help win an election but to help win souls. 

Synopsis: Paul presses on and Strains forward, setting the standard for faithful Christian living. Paul's confidence in Christ and in Christ's commonwealth drives his progress in the Christian Life. Sermon Text: Philippians 3:12-4:1

Preston Arnold continues Philippians.

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning's sermon, If You Were a Christian in Ancient Rome…, digging deeper into the choices disciples must make, whatever the era, whatever the empire.

Philippians 3:15-4:1

Just as Paul used his Roman citizenship to further the Gospel, how can we use our American citizenship to further the Gospel?Find common ground with the people you are speaking to. Be an upstanding citizen. Let the Gospel be the offense. 

Synopsis: Paul begins to wrap his letter up with his central command, “rejoice in the Lord.” To give them reason to rejoice, he juxtaposes faithful Christians who are the circumcision with their opponents, who are dogs and whose cherished worldly “glory” is but rubbish. What Christians have is the Righteousness of God by faith, by which they are becoming like Jesus in his death and by which they attain the resurrection of the dead. Sermon Text: Philippians 3:1-11

We are called to be citizens of Heaven, to transcend our Earthly citizenship.  What does that mean for us today, especially with how politically charged our nation has become?  How do we live in a way that puts our Heavenly citizenship above our status as Americans?

Synopsis: Paul diplomatically denies the Philippians request to send them Timothy, making their own Epaphroditus his emissary, while simultaneously lifting up two shining examples who exemplify the themes of his letter. The gospel partnership is unified familial service of the Lord Jesus Christ, that both fulfills God's people and fills them with Joy. Sermon Text: Philippians 2:19-30

This past Sunday, Pastor Josh taught from 1 Peter 2 how, as “citizens of heaven, we are to live honorably as citizens of earth.” I couldn't help but think of the Olympians representing their countries in Paris this summer. Whether hailing from Germany, Spain, Greece, or the USA, they temporarily resided in Paris and, while there, represented their home to those around them. Even though we often don't think of it this way, the same is true for Christians. While we are citizens of earth, our residence here is temporary, and our true and lasting citizenship is in heaven.

Synopsis: With the light of the Sun of Righteousness shining in their eyes, Paul now exhorts the Philippians to reflect Christ's humility, obedience, selflessness, and love in the Gospel partnership and in the world. With Christ as the motivation and source of their power, the Saints in Philippi can endure their circumstances in unity with one another, obeying the word of God as good witnesses in the broader community. Good citizens of heaven make for good citizens in Philippi. This is how the Philippians will complete Paul's work and make his sacrifice to Christ on their behalf worth it. Because of Christ's humiliation and exaltation, today on into eternity, the Koinonia of Christ can be a gladsome and joy filled light in the world. Sermon Text: Philippians 2:12-18

Suffering and the Christian life go hand in hand, yet the Lord faithfully holds His people through every circumstance. Refined by trials and grace, Christians walk in this world able to serve and love others knowing that God is in control and supplies our deepest needs. 

Synopsis: The opposition the Philippians are experiencing calls for steadfastness, and steadfastness is impossible without spiritual unity, and if unity arises from an attitude of humility, then surely Paul must reinforce the critical importance of humility in the heart of believers. And what better way to reinforce this thought than by reminding the Philippians of the attitude and conduct of him to whom they are united in faith, the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says Jesus' mind is theirs, they own it. They possess it. It was given to them. Jesus' way of thinking in his ministry has been given to them through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. The indicatives of the gospel lead to the imperatives of gospel living. So Paul reviews the facts of the Gospel of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul reviews the gospel. Jesus' Psyche of selfless service in obedience to the Father, resulting in his exaltation is the humility the philippians need to standfast. Sermon Text: Philippians 2:5-11

Pastor Charlie Greenwell teaches from Philippians 3 and reminds us that we must “press on toward the goal” and conform our walk to be worthy of our citizenship in Heaven. The post Walk as Citizens of Heaven appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

Synopsis: Paul makes an impassioned appeal for the humility necessary for true unity in Christ. Unlike the Selfish ambition of his enemies (1:17), partners in the gospel must put the corporate interests over any other motivation. This properly ordered affection allows partners in the gospel of Jesus Christ to increase in humility by pursing the corporate interests over personal ambition. Sermon Text: Philippians 2:1-4

Synopsis: Philippians are partners with Paul in the suffering and conflict of the Gospel. To live as worthy citizens of heaven, the Philippians must have unity in Christ's Spirit, putting on the Mind of Christ - to stand firm and toil together in the suffering God has granted, as God's sign to the world that Christ is Victorious. Sermon Text: Philippians 1:27-30

We are citizens of another world - Heaven!. We are not of this world, but ambassadors for Jesus while we are here on Earth. We are to occupy until He comes.

In this series, we are reminded that our allegiance is to King Jesus, and our purpose is to restrain evil and expand God's kingdom. Whether it's how we engage with the government, care for the vulnerable, or relate to the lost, our heavenly citizenship shapes everything we do.
