"Welcome to Words To Live By. This is Pastor Warren. Life isn't always easy, and we all face trials that test our faith. But in God's Word, we find promises that steady our hearts and truths that guide our steps." In this episode we will consider Philippians 4:6-7 NAS95: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (NASB95) Anxiety is a quiet thief. It slips into the mind, unsettles the heart, and whispers questions that have no easy answers. It can be stirred by illness, uncertainty, family burdens, financial pressures, or simply the weight of tomorrow. Scripture never denies that anxiety is real—but it does remind us that anxiety does not have to be our ruler.

In this episode, the guys unpack Philippians 4:10-13 and Paul's example of contentment. Contentment is a quiet, restful heart and mind, that trusts God's goodness and wisdom in every circumstance. Christians are to be content because our contentment honors God and blesses others. And it is only through Christ at work in us that we can become content.If you're looking for biblical teaching on contentment, spiritual growth, and how to trust God in every season, this conversation will encourage you. Join us as we walk through Scripture, explore Paul's words in Philippians, and talk about what true, Christ-centered contentment looks like in daily life.Listen to more Bible Caddie episodes:https://biblecaddie.com/podcastFollow Bible Caddie on Instagram:https://instagram.com/biblecaddieFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@biblecaddieFollow us on X/Twitter:https://twitter.com/biblecaddieShop Bible Caddie merch:https://biblecaddie.com/pro-shop/Watch full episodes and clips on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@biblecaddieStart a Featured Group:https://biblecaddie.com/start-a-group/

JOHNSON CITY - When the Prince of Peace finally came, He brought peace to all mankind. Not a momentary truce. Not a cease-fire. But true, everlasting peace.
Pastor Sam Houston
This episode is an exposition of Philippians 4:16–17, “Generosity Bears Spiritual Fruit,” from our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn. Paul is not using these verses as a strategy or gimmick to get the Philippians to increase their financial gifts. Instead, Paul has a genuine desire for the spiritual good of others. That same motivation drives us here at First Baptist Dallas. Giving is ultimately not about anything we want from you. True generosity leads to spiritual fruit now and in eternity—which is what we want for you! Along these lines, we invite you to partner with us to support the mission of First Baptist Dallas, which includes creating biblical resources like this podcast by giving online here: firstdallas.org/fbdgive.

Our culture says joy is a feeling you chase or a vibe you create. But Advent reminds us: joy is a Person who came to us. In this message, Pastor David teaches that biblical joy is being fully present with God in Jesus Christ and His people—rooted in love, sustained by the Spirit, strengthened through hope and trust, and defiant against isolation and fear. From the angels' announcement in Luke 2 to James' call to “count it all joy” and Paul's command to “rejoice in the Lord always,” we see that joy has a Source, joy has a Fight, and joy has a Path.

Seeing the big picture of what Jesus has done leads us to experience joy - so that we can live out Paul's exhortations to "rejoice" in Philippians 4:4-7.
Welcome to our December discipleship series—Light of the World. This episode is an exposition of Philippians 4:10-15, “Generosity is a Gospel Partnership,” from our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn. In this passage, Paul says that financial giving creates a “partnership” in the gospel. Why is that? And what does that mean? When the gospel takes root in our hearts, generosity flows out. We get to play a part in what God is doing, as He draws people to Himself and transforms their lives for eternity.

What do you think about? If you were asked to think about your typical day and consider your thoughts, what do you think about? What do you like to think about?

When you have down time in your day, what do you spend your […] The post Set Your Mind (Philippians 4:7-8) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.
“Imminent Arrival” seriesAdvent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching King Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey colt, knowing full well that he will be killed before the end of the week. The events of Palm Sunday serve as a microcosm for all Jesus' work, proving the King of the universe was willing to humble himself and endure anything for our salvation. That is precisely why Christ came. That is why we anticipate his imminent arrival not with worry but with joy.

Philippians is a remarkable epistle (or letter) to the church in Philippi. In it, the apostle Paul writes on topics such as prayer, worship, Christian living, humility, unity, and the powerful work of Christ completed in us. People often recognize this book by it's many familiar passages such as, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" to name just a couple. This book is packed with life-changing principles, so grab your Bible and join Jerry Dirmann as he dives into the amazing book of Philippians, and helps us see how to apply this book in practical ways.

Everyone wants to be happy. Don't you? Yet happiness seems one of the most elusive feelings in the world for most people. One of the most shocking and powerful aspects of the apostle Paul was his ability to live happy. This guy didn't fake it. He didn't hide it. He didn't struggle with it. He simply found the secret to happiness and couldn't wait to share it with us. While the whole letter of Philippians is aimed at joy, this last lesson focuses in on happiness and how to achieve it. This is gold and it's ours for the taking in Christ Jesus! Discussion Questions: How did Paul always rejoice? Can you remember the definition given for contentment? How would you define contentment? Do you remember the five (or some) obstacles to contentment? What hinders you from contentment? What are some things you practice to grow in contentment? Social media is one of the obstacles to joy in modern life. How's your relationships with social media and in what ways do you need to make changes to it? Consider these thoughts and write down what comes to mind. Jesus + nothing = everything. Contentment is the bold affirmation that my Father knows best. We're all going to go through various seasons in our life. The key to joy is to learn what Paul learned, which is to be content.

Most Christians spend way too much time worrying. You were meant for more than a life of worry. Find out how to get victory over worry in this lesson. Discussion Questions: What is the most difficult sin in your life to overcome? What are you worried about lately? Why? What does God's word say about that particular matter?
