As You Live on Earth, God Has Work for You; You Are to “Live in Christ” So that Others See Jesus in Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: As a Jesus Follower, God Expects You to Both Work for Kingdom and Witness for the Gospel. Also, as a Jesus Follower, you are to live in Christ and to let others see Jesus in your life. If you are to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for you – God has work for you; God's work for you is real work. The spiritual life is work – it is fruitful labor. Also, Godly conduct is a necessity to live in Christ as we are instructed in Philippians 1:27: “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ . . .”. Not only does God have a work for you, but you, also, have a witness for Him through your actions, words, and your attitudes. Your actions, words, and attitudes constantly reflect who and what God is in your life. Paul admonishes us, in Galatians 6:2,9-10a to follow the law of Christ and to do good and live a moral life: “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ . . . And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.”. Also, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12, succinctly presents what it means for a Jesus Follower “to live in Christ”: “To be a witness, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.". Are you following Jesus so that you are living in Christ and letting others see Jesus in your life?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.     TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will think like Jesus (Philippians 2:5f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Galatians 5:18-26; 1 Peter 1:15-19; 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12; Psalms 37d:21-40. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

In our next Pray series message, Hilary Dalziel unpacks the line from the Lord's Prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Using the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10), she shows that the kingdom is deeply personal (Jesus sees us, loves us, and invites us into His rule) but it also brings real change as we submit every part of our lives to His lordship. The kingdom is both present and future: we experience its reality now when we put our faith in Christ (Colossians 1:13), yet we long for the day when it fully comes and every knee bows to Jesus (Philippians 2:9–11). Living in this “now and not yet” tension calls for persevering prayer, like Abraham who trusted God's promise against all odds (Romans 4:19–21), and for proclaiming and demonstrating the kingdom in our families, workplaces, communities, and to the ends of the earth.

There's a question we all have when we take steps of faith to develop compassion, generosity, and a Kingdom mindset. When we're being sacrificial, it's natural to ask: "God, what about me?

Philippians 3:4–10 reveals the apostle Paul's powerful testimony of surrender—counting all things as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus. In this video, we dive into what it means to truly know Jesus, not just intellectually but intimately (ginōskō), and why following Him is worth giving up everything.Watch this episode as a video on YouTubeSign up for the Deeper Digest (everything Deeper Christian in one email each Saturday)Subscribe to the Deeper Christian YouTube channelCheck out the study notes for this episode-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 359View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/359

The Messenger of the {New} Covenant {Jesus} Is Coming – Is He Coming to Purify You or to Judge You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: The people, in God's Judgment articulated in Malachi 3:5, are the people of God. These people are not the unbelievers; these are the people that say they are following God. Malachi 3:5, articulates those transgressions, including the absence of a “fear of the lord”, in which God: “will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.” To this end, Paul reminds us again in Romans 2:4-5 of a pathway to or away from God's Judgment: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Additionally, in Proverbs 1:7 we find that the “fear of the Lord” provides us with “wisdom”. On the other hand and in the absence of our “fear of the Lord”, Proverbs 1:7 tells us that we are “foolish”: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”. The messenger of the Covenant is coming – He is coming to either purify you or to judge you.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless.

By NOT Adhering to Jesus' “Great Commission” to “go . . . and make disciples” You Are Following Jesus MESSAGE SUMMARY: God said told all Jesus Followers to “go and make disciples” not to “make decisions”. In other words, we are to bring the Gospel to others with whom we have or with whom we develop a personal relationship. Therefore, we are to leave the “conversion” or the “decision” of others to become a Christian up to the Holy Spirit. Our job, as Jesus Followers, is to “go and make disciples”. In Jesus' last instructions to His Apostles and to you, before His Ascension to Heaven from Earth, is in Mathew 28:16-20 -- Jesus' Great Commission: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. A disciple is a student, a follower, a learner. Making a disciple is not about classes. Making a disciple it about investing yourself in the life of another person – discipling is having a personal relationship with another person so that they see the life of Christ in you. Have you been discipled, or have you made a disciple? Not “going and making disciples” is your “great omission” as a Christian.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, in order to be with you, I need you to show me how to “create a desert” in the midst of my full, active life. Cleanse me from the pressures, illusions, and pretenses that confront me today so that my life may serve as a gift to those around me. Amen.  Scazzero, Peter.

Philippians 1:1-6 NLT1 This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus.I am writing to all of God's holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the church leaders and deacons. 2 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. 3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. 4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, 5 for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. 6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. • • •1. Joy in living for Jesus • • •Philippians 1:20-21 NLT20 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past.

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.

Daily Voice Devotional with Niyi AdekunleSaturday 15th MarchThe Name of Jesus 6We have been studying the name of Jesus – the origin of the name, what's in the name, its purpose, why it's so powerful and its influence in all realms. With this knowledge, how do we activate this power in our lives?The name of Jesus carries limitless possibilities, yet it must be put to work if you will see it work in your life. It's like having substantial amount of money in your bank account, if you don't sign the cheque that represents your identity or input your personal identification number (PIN), you won't be able to access the money even though it's yours. In the same way, God has placed everything under the authority of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11), but we must put it to work by faith.Songs of Solomon 1:3 CEV and you smell so sweet. All the young women adore you; the very mention of your name is like spreading perfume. Rom 10:13 GWT So then, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."The scent of a perfume remains dormant until it is sprayed. Similarly, the power in the name of Jesus is released when we call on it in faith. This is not a casual mention—it is a deep invocation from a heart of worship and submission.We must learn to make a demand on His name always, using it in faith and not fear or doubt, in prayers, praise and declaring it in the face of life's challenges, knowing it carries divine authority.When you call on the name of Jesus, you release the fragrance of dominion, favour, angelic forces and whatever the name has been ordained to represent to you. It releases God's presence, brings safety, and establishes His rule in our lives. It's time to begin to actively and intentionally use the name of Jesus. God bless you, enjoy your day.

Humility, central to our faith, defied Roman ideals of virtue and honor, where it was seen as weakness—reserved for slaves, women, and children. Yet, Scripture repeatedly elevates these very groups as models of faith. This is the scandal of Christianity: at its core is a God who humbles Himself. How can we follow Him while clinging to pride? True humility isn't mere niceness—Jesus feared no man, and it led Him to the cross. Genuine humility seeks the good of others at any cost, just as Christ, though equal with God, emptied Himself to become a servant. Because He humbled Himself, even to the point of death on a cross, God exalted Him—and He will do the same for us. In the kingdom of God, the way up is down. This is Understanding Philippians.

This is a stirring meditation on how our call to humility should be rooted in Christ's astonishing humbling of Himself for our salvation. You can watch this message here.

The Apostle Paul exhorts the Philippians to remain faithful and recounts how faith and knowing Christ is central to all of life.

Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. (Philippians 2:16 NLT) Of all of the people who went into the various portions of the Promised Land that God had allotted to the Israelites, Caleb was the only one who successfully drove out all his enemies. And he did it at the age of eighty-five. Caleb had a strength that never waned because he had a love for God that never waned. Caleb went to Joshua and said, “So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said” (Joshua 14:12 NLT). He had asked for one of the most treacherous areas in the land, Hebron, which was known for its rugged terrain and fierce opponents. Yet the Bible goes on to say, “So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel” (verses 13–14 NLT). Maybe there is another reason Caleb wanted Hebron. The very word Hebron means “love, fellowship, communion.” This was the place where Abraham met with God face to face. That is what Caleb longed for. While others longed for Egypt, Caleb longed for Hebron. While others looked back, Caleb looked forward. And while others wanted to please themselves, Caleb wanted to please God. That is a key to finishing well. You’re always moving forward spiritually, seeking to grow spiritually, and never looking back. Anyone who is running a race knows that you can’t look back. It’s hard to run while you’re looking over your shoulder. You’ll tend to stumble over your own feet. If you want to finish well, then you have to keep looking forward. Don’t look over your shoulder, and don’t look behind you. Keep moving forward. Every day we should be seeking to grow stronger spiritually and grow more and more like Jesus. Corrie ten Boom was a great woman of God who went through incredible suffering in a Nazi extermination camp for hiding Jews in her home. She said, "If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest." That is the key. Keep looking forward. As Hebrews 12:1–2 encourages us, “And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith” (NLT). Jesus Christ Himself is watching us. He is the one who will give us the strength to finish this race. People will let you down, and circumstances will disappoint you. Keep looking to Jesus. He is the one you need to finish the race for. Keep going. Run the race of life. Don’t give up. Don’t slow down. We need to keep our focus and remember what our objective is. Let’s finish well.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. (Philippians 2:10 NLT) Juliet asked Romeo, “What's in a name?” And then she answered her own question: “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” That might be nice if you're a flower. But if you're a person, you know that a name can indeed make a difference. Names are so significant that people even will go to court to have them changed. So, what's in a name? That all depends on whose name it is. If it's the name of Jesus Christ, there's a lot in that name. The Bible says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13 NLT) and “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:10-11 NLT). Some may claim they never will bow before Jesus. But they will. Atheists will bow and agnostics will bow. Everyone will bow, no matter who they are, at the Great White Throne Judgment of Christ. But sadly, for those at this judgment, it will be too late. There will be no other chances of forgiveness. That is why we want to bow now so that we'll be ready to meet the Lord. Jesus wasn't born in a stable in Bethlehem so that we could have an excuse to go shopping for a month. The message of the angels to the shepherds was not, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Therefore, go to the nearest mall and spend lots of money.” Rather, they said He is the Savior of the world. This is good news for us. He was born to die that we might live—and not only live eternally, but live life to its fullest and discover the plan that God has for us. Have you discovered that plan? Maybe you're living under the power of a particular sin right now. Maybe some vice, lifestyle, or addiction has its stranglehold on you, and you're trying to break free. God can deliver you from it. Maybe you've felt all alone. There is an everlasting Father who wants to reveal Himself to you. Maybe you have walked blindly through life, not knowing where to go or what to do. There is a God who wants to give His personal counsel to you. Most importantly, He wants to forgive you of your sin. Every one of us has broken God's commandments. Every one of us has fallen short of His standards. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and then rose from the dead three days later. He is saying, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends” (Revelation 3:20 NLT). When we look at all that God is and all that He offers to us, it should cause us to be amazed, surprised, astonished, and in awe. And it should cause us to worship Him. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Church Mail - Week #4: The Mindset of Jesus (Philippians) (11-3-24) 

Having the mind of Christ involves an obedience and humility demonstrated by Jesus Himself. As He lived and endured the cross, Jesus was completely obedient and humble both in our place and so that we may live the same way. By living this way we will share in unity the love and grace of Christ to others.

In Today's Secular Uncertainties, God is Sovereign; and God “the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Political discord and health care uncertainties surround us in all directions today. Without Jesus in our lives, we have reasons to be anxious and fearful. However, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:31: “Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”. The future years may hurt our pride, wallets, and/or our freedom. On the other hand, we should not let the current secular political environment and culture hinder our resolve to continue in our fearless faith in the truth; our constant hope in the future; and our radical love for our neighbors. God has a plan; and, regardless of how things look from our eyes, we must remain faithful to His purpose. Now is the time to draw near to Jesus and to advance His Kingdom. Our gaze must remain on Jesus if we want to walk on the water during the storm. God is the King of Kings and the Sovereign God of the Universe. As Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 4:17 when God told Nebuchadnezzar: “to the end that the living may know that the Most High {God} rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will and sets over it the lowliest of men.”. God is always involved in our lives, and He gives the government offices “to whom he will”, even if the political processes produce “the lowliest of men {or women}”. Sometimes, we receive the elected officials we need, and sometimes we receive the elected officials that we deserve; but God is always Sovereign and faithful.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will think like Jesus (Philippians 2:5f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Receive God's grace and peace - (Phillipians 1:1-2) Remember the good things - (Phillipians 1:3-5) “If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements, and worthwhileness I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages, or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.” –– Audrey Hepburn   How to remember the good Learn how to count (Phil. 3:13) Count your blessings (Psalm 116:12) Share good things with others (Proverbs 25:25) Have a “praise list” not just a “prayer list” (Psalm 33:1; Rom. 11:33-36) Surround yourself with positive people (2 Cor. 7:6) Realize God is Working - (Philippians 1:6) Abound in Love - (Philippians 1:9-11) Live for a cause greater than yourself - (Philippians 1:12-18) Resolve to always live for Jesus - (Philippians 1:27)   Duration 38:30

April 19, 2024 - Friday 11:00AM MPR 4 Speaker   Speaker: Barry Grider "You be Jesus, I don't want to be Him" A world that despises Jesus is an indication of sin in our world   Jesus will be judging us, maybe we want to get to know him!   Idiom "children of light" Bear the nature of... Light or darkness Possessing characteristics of... We want to walk in the light   If you are a child of light, you have a realization there is a God, there is a rejection of devil, and you want to be a reflection of Jesus.   Jesus says my time has now come. Prays to God to glorify God's name The prince of this world should be cast out Is the light with you, walk in the light   Jesus pictures himself as the light of the world   Darkness challenges God Challenged God in garden Light glorifies God Conceals who the devil is Light reveals the devil Crucified Jesus Light revealed Jesus and purpose of the crucifixion Confuse the purpose of one's life Clarifies the purpose of our life   Walking in the light means... I believe in God I resist the devil I live for Jesus   Philippians 1:21   3 areas we can shine like Jesus We will have our wilderness temptation Matthew 4 Devil doesn't play fair, comes at you at your weakest moment Lust of the flesh Lust of the eyes Pride of life Jesus taught us how to defeat the devil by walking in the light We will have our garden of sorrow Luke 22 Jesus in gesemene, at base of Mt of olives Praying and crying, sweating blood While men slept, Jesus wept If we are going to reign with Him, we must suffer with Him While we are in garden People in light want to help but may not understand People in darkness may not care Proverbs 14:10 But Jesus does know and understand Can be a lonely place We will have a Judas who betrays us, maybe several (John 18) Sometimes we might be right and them wrong Sometimes they might be right and us wrong Sometimes we both might be wrong Jesus washed the feet of Judas knowing what he going to betray If you're looking for me, let these other go their way Don't let it distract you from what you're going to do   Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXXixeTRhck   Duration 42:23

Respectable Sins – Chapter 12 – “Selfishness”Jerry Bridges writes that “we can be very learned in our theology or very upright in our morality and yet fail to display the gracious qualities of Christian character that Paul called the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)Remember, we are all born with a selfish nature Not a learned attribute Easy to see in others; hard to identify in ourselvesDifferent degrees and different expressionsFour areas Bridges addresses Selfishness with our interests – Philippians 2:4~ A good test of selfishness in our interests would be to reflect on the conversation after you have beenwith someone and ask yourself how much time you spent talking about your interests compared to listening to the other person~ Un thoughtfulness – symptom of self-centerednessSelfishness regarding our time~ All of us have a fixed amount of it~ Can be selfish with hoarding and protecting our own or imposing and asking of the time of others~ Galatians 6:2 Selfishness with our money/resources~ Romans 12:15; 1 John 3:17Trait of inconsiderateness – failure to think about the impact of our actions on others~ Feelings of others, needs of othersNeed to look to the example of Jesus (Philippians 2)++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Philippians - Becoming a People of Defiant Joy

In the fall of 2002, the DC sniper caused terror across the DC area by choosing people at random and shooting them from a distance. When his reign of terror ended, the world was surprised that it wasn't just one, but TWO snipers at work... and one of them was only 17 years old.The story of John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo is a fascinating case study on the importance of discipleship, because it shows us that we can disciple people really well... in the wrong direction.This is precisely what Paul is encouraging the Philippian church to keep in mind as they continue to walk the walk of faith. Paul's hope for them is that choose to follow those who follow Jesus.So who are you following dear listener? And are they pointing you to Jesus? What does all of this mean? Have a listen and find out! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)

The beginning of the year is a natural time to be self-reflective. However, this can often lead to putting the weight of the world on ourselves to change. It is important to remember that God, through our union with Christ, and empowerment by the Spirit is the source of our spiritual growth. Preacher: Kenton Brice
