"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." [Philippians 1:21] This fall we walk through Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. Lead Pastor Caleb Click Preaching August 16th, 2026 Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, AL

Summary: Philippians 1:21 — “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Paul summarizes the Christian life in one powerful sentence. To live is Christ means Jesus is the purpose, center, and direction of our lives. As long as we live, we have the opportunity to know Christ, serve Him, and make Him known. To die is gain means death is not defeat for the believer. Death brings us into the presence of the One we have been living for. Paul's message is simple: If I live, I live for Christ. If I die, I go to be with Christ. Either way, Christ is my gain.
Preached by Rev. Paul Mosiejczuk on 16 August 2026. Part 2 in the Series on Philippians. Bible Passage: Philippians 1:1–2.

Philippians 1:27-30 Pastoral Intern Colin Sareyka

Summary: Paul is rejoicing because the prison cell, nor the chains, could lock up the gospel; In fact, we'll see the circumstance caused the gospel to go even further. And therefore, Paul rejoices. When Paul is writing this, he thinks he's just writing a letter to a group of believers. He doesn't know that he's writing an epistle. But we, who now read it, know that we, according to the scriptures, are living epistles known and read by all men. And therefore, our lives speak the gospel! Join us as we see how that our lives speak the gospel.
It's often not until we look back that we begin to understand how God worked in our lives—but that is exactly what He was doing. At each step along the way, He was planting seeds and ensuring that they grow. This week, we will hear from Bill Dwyer, who will share how God initiated and deepened his faith.

Summary: Our passage today declares one of the greatest promises of the Bible, and that is that what God started in you He will complete it! He formed the heavens and completed them. He formed the world and completed it. He formed you, saved you, and will complete what He started in you……. And He will do it, because He said so, and His Word never falls short (or incomplete). Join us as we find out more of what that means to you and your current circumstances in life.

Summary: The Epistle of Joy…… written by a man in chains (the Apostle Paul), who is awaiting a hearing before the Roman Empire (Nero) on false charges laid against him by envious religious leaders….. yet some 16 times in four short chapters he will write and say the word rejoice/joy! How could he be filled with joy as he writes from prison? Today we start with two of the key words and reasons (Grace and Bondservant), and we begin to understand how he was, and we too can find joy regardless of the circumstances of life. Join Us!

To live is Christ- The saints in Philippi were concerned for Paul as he was writing to them from prison, but Paul assured them that his unfavorable circumstances were turning out for the good of the gospel. Our future heavenly citizenship should affect how we live now.
Message delivered July 12, 2026 at One Community Church in Plano, TX.
A prayer of love- It's right to pray for those who are lost, needy, or hurting, but Paul's prayer for his friends at Philippi reminds us to pray for the spiritual well-being of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Sunday Morning Expositional Message
To the Philippians- The Lord used Paul to help start the church at Philippi, so he had a special place in his heart for them. Among other lessons to be learned in this letter, Paul teaches us how to remain joyful and content through the trials of life.
