If a confused hiker who has lost his way starts wandering down every path, they are likely to get more lost. It is better to get your bearings and stand on what you know. Then you can find your way. Today Dr. John teaches on the bearings Paul reminded the Corinthians of. Jesus' death. Eyewitnesses to His resurrection. The transformation of His followers. These are our bearings as well.The Resurrection: Like Christmas, our society has added cultural symbols to Easter. Lilies, bunnies, and chocolate. Of course, what is central to Easter is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this series of messages, Dr. John teaches through 1 Corinthians 15 and demonstrates the certainty and centrality of Jesus' physical resurrection. Easter is more than a celebration of what was, but a promise of hope for what will be.

The Gospel is the most powerful force on the planet, and in reality, it has not lost any potency or any capacity to change men and women for the glory of God. Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel. He had confidence in his message, and so can we. Listen as Pastor Joe explains several reasons why we don't need to be ashamed of that message, and how we can have confidence in the Gospel.

Confidence in the Gospel
We live in a world where so many bad things can happen and they do happen. This is the reason why most people are anxious or afraid. In fact, most of the things that people do in the world are intended to relieve them of their fears or worries. But believers in Christ are secure in their relationship with God. They know they can be confident because God is on their side. We need to understand this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bongbaylon/message
Putting our faith in the Gospel and living according to it requires confidence in the Gospel. At the same time, we cannot share the Gospel with others if we are not confident about it. Some Christians today do not fully understand why the Gospel is so vital to their existence. They may go through the motions of Christianity without that inner conviction that the Gospel is the most important truth in which they stand. Later, when tested or tempted, they may walk away from it. At the same time, they may be reluctant to share the Gospel with others because they are not that confident that people really need it in order to live. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bongbaylon/message

When a person comes to truly understand the gospel of God, when they grasp through the Spirit the truths freely revealed to us by God in the gospel concerning God, sin, themselves, and salvation in Christ, and when they experience the life-giving power of God in the new birth, it produces such an eagerness to proclaim this good news to others who are perishing. And this is eagerness is joined with an obligation, and it is all founded upon a confidence in the power and promises of the God who saves sinners. That is what Paul is saying to the Romans in our text this morning. He is saying that he finds himself overwhelmed with a sense of gospel duty coupled with a readiness and eagerness to carry out this duty, and as he strives eagerly to carry out this gospel duty he is upheld and fueled by confidence in the power of God to bring dead sinners to life through the preaching of this glorious gospel. -What we see here is a proper understanding of the gospel produces duty, eagerness, and confidence in gospel proclamation.

Many pastors have an entrepreneurial spirit. They like to cast a vision and develop a plan to fulfill that vision. But, so often, the strategy that underlies the vision and the plan are business models. It was so common for churches to apply tactics from Good to Great, that the author, Jim Collins, wrote a separate booklet for non-profits. I remember noting it was required reading for the church planting elective in seminary. Now, I'm not suggesting we have nothing to learn from the business world. But it deserves nowhere near the attention we give it. When we consider Paul's model for pastoral ministry, we find very little social analysis and strategy. Instead, we find someone who was committed to building up a community in their love for Christ and one another. Paul's joy and gratitude in prayer are explained and defended in verses 6-8 before he prays for their ongoing spiritual maturity. Verse 6 is a pivotal verse that really establishes his gratitude and prayer for the saints in Philippi. In Philippians, Paul focuses on people not programs and tasks. Our central purpose in and mutual commitment to Christ strengthen the bonds of our affection. And these relationships become the grounds of our confidence in the work God is accomplishing through the gospel. Paul is confident that God is at work in Philippi because they partake of the same grace supplied by a compassionate Savior. We cannot assume the Philippians lacked assurance in their salvation, but we can know that Paul sought to affirm them in their faith in order to encourage them. Whether or not you struggle with assurance, this passage ought to leave you encouraged in the work God is doing in Christ. How should we address our lack of assurance? Paul answers this question by modeling the solution. The affirmation of a seasoned saint can strengthen the resolve of a weary soul. Read https://ref.ly/logosref/Bible.Php1.6-8 (Philippians 1:6-8). The Preservation of the Saints (6)Paul's joyful thanksgiving has bolstered his confidence in the work that God is doing through the Philippians. The same God who started the work will complete it upon Christ's return. Hebrews 10:14 ESV For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. The work of redemption was accomplished on the cross. And that work was based upon the “everlasting love” of God who remains faithful to his elect children. This work of applying that redemption in the life of believers is progressive and ongoing, but it is certain. Paul's confidence is based upon the ongoing fruit that he is witnessing. He knows the partnership he enjoys with the Philippians is a good work that God has prepared for them to walk in (https://ref.ly/logosref/Bible.Eph2.10 (Eph 2:10)). It is a good work that they are accomplishing in the power of God. Or, we might say, it is a work that God is accomplishing through them. Paul says it both ways (cf https://ref.ly/logosref/Bible.Php2.12-13 (Phil 2:12-13)). Our phrasing can easily trip us up. And it is helpful to be precise when talking about God's ongoing work of sanctification. But it seems like Paul has the ability to be fluid even in his prayers to go back and forth between thanking God for the work that HE begins and completes and the partnership that the Philippians actively participate in. Of course, we need to recognize that our sanctification is never perfect in this life. We continue to struggle with indwelling sin, facing the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil. But as the Canons of Dordt teach us, “God is faithful, who having conferred grace, mercifully confirms and powerfully preserves them therein, even to the end.” The same word “complete” is at the root of what Jesus declared on the cross “It is finished!” We can be assured that if Christ has begun that work in you, he will continue that work in you. And he will not stop...

Pastor Rich shares four truths that can give us confidence in the gospel. Philippians 1:1-6 1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Truth #1 - I didn't start the relationship, God did. Truth #2 - I am a work in progress. Truth #3 - We serve a God who is faithful. Truth #4 - God will work on you until you die. 8/28/16
