One of the most famously quoted verses in the Bible comes from Paul: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It's not only often quoted, it's arguably even more commonly misunderstood. Today, Laura Ortberg Turner joins us with John to unpack what Paul truly meant with these words.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

He reminds them to rejoice always, be gentle, and not be anxious about anything, but instead present their requests to God with thanksgiving. As they do this, God's peace will guard their hearts and minds. They are urged to fix their thoughts on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Paul thanks them for their support and generosity, acknowledging that their care for him reflects their partnership in the gospel. He assures them that God will supply all their needs according to His riches. Paul closes with praise to God and sends greetings, encouraging them to remain strong in grace and unity. We are encouraged to stand firm in our faith and seek unity in our relationships. When we feel overwhelmed or anxious, we are reminded to pray to God, bringing our requests with hearts full of gratitude. As we do, His peace—far beyond our understanding—will guard our hearts and minds. We are also called to focus our thoughts on what is true, pure, and praiseworthy, shaping our mindset to reflect Christ. As we practice contentment and trust in God's provision, we learn that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from Christ within us. We are reminded to live generously, support one another, and rest in the promise that God will supply all we need according to His riches. Loving Father, thank You for being our source of peace and strength. When we feel anxious or overwhelmed, remind us to come to You in prayer with thankful hearts. Fill us with the peace that surpasses all understanding and guard our minds from fear. Help us to fix our thoughts on what is true, pure, and worthy of praise. Teach us to be content in every circumstance, knowing that Christ strengthens us beyond measure. May we live generously and trust that You will provide all we need. Let our lives reflect Your joy, grace, and love in the name of Jesus. Thought Questions: Disharmony among believers is the enemy of peace. How can you show kindness to others to restore greater peace in your fellowship? What place does prayer have in your daily life? How is your attitude going into prayer a massive part of how profitable it will be? Do activities after prayer matter? Why is it essential to follow prayer with focus on important things and generous service to others?

With our final message about "Unity", we will read between the lines and ask the Holy Spirit to grant us wisdom and strength as Paul exhorts support, generosity, humility and unity among the people in our church.
Message from Mike Seaver on September 7, 2025
https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cooke-9-7-25.mp3 Two faithful sisters, Euodia & Syntyche, found themselves divided. They scrutinized motives, assumed the worst, and replayed their grievances. Paul points them to a better way: love that doesn't record wrongs committed against them in an ever running ledger, but that deliberately dwells on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy. Join Pastor Matt as he unpacks how this transforms conflict into unity.
Guest Preacher and Pastoral Intern Matth Holschuh preaches from Philippians 4:1-6, where we learn that the life of a believer must reflect unity with others, dependence on God through prayer, and the pursuit of godly living.
Paul reminds us of the identity we carry as ones loved and longed for by God and encourages us to stand firm in this.
How is joy related to living our lives worthy of the Gospel of Christ? Chapter 4 lays out how the act of rejoicing in the Lord can lead us to peace and joy.

Your Nightly Prayer
Sunday Am Sermon
In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on how the When You Pray Bible study reshaped the way I approach prayer. Instead of only petitioning God for what I need, I've learned the importance of admiration—confessing who God is: provisional, personal, a giver, and good. Through scriptures like Psalm 139 and Philippians 4, I share how worship, gratitude, and reverence have deepened my prayer life and helped me see God's goodness even in sorrow.We'll explore:The difference between petition, thanksgiving, and admiration in prayerThe four truths about who God isWhy worship and reverence matter in building faithHow the Holy Spirit quietly guides us with truthLearning to see problems as bumps, not endingsUsing the spiritual tools God has already given us

Lest we forget that Paul is writing a real letter to a real local church with real people, today's passage begins with practical counsel concerning two ladies who can't seem to agree with one another. These women have contended for the gospel along with Paul, and he urges them to be united in Christ. He encourages the church at large to rejoice at all times and to pray without ceasing, thanking God for his gifts even while making prayer requests known. He also urges the church to let minds dwell on that which is good in a world that is full of discouragement. He ends with appreciation for the care he experienced through the church, thanking them and assuring them that the Lord will supply all their needs. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT) Fight fire with fire. That’s what you do when you find yourself in a spiritual battle. Your enemy will be firing spiritual weapons such as temptation, guilt, doubt, and fear. To keep him on the defensive, you must use spiritual weapons as well. The apostle Paul wrote, “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments” (2 Corinthians 10:3–4 NLT). Let’s take fear, for instance, one of the devil’s most effective weapons. If he can get you to worry about something—more specifically, if he can get you worked up over nothing—he has the upper hand in battle. Have you ever noticed how completely worthless worry is? It can absolutely can devastate you. It’s like a rocking chair. You’re always moving but never getting anywhere. You just start worrying about this. You start worrying about that. What if this and what if that? What are you supposed to do? Look at what Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6–7: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (NLT). That’s fighting fire with fire. When you feel fear creeping into your thoughts, when you start asking, “What if this happens?” or “What if that happens?” make sure you battle back with your spiritual weapon of prayer. Instead of giving worry a toehold in your mind, simply say, “I don’t know what’s going to happen. But, Lord, I’m committing it to You right now. I don’t know how to handle this. I don’t know how to deal with it. But I know that You do. And I know that you are unimaginably greater than whatever may happen. So, I put this into Your hands.” Let’s say that makes you feel good for about five minutes. And then another fear rears its ugly head. What do you do then? You say, “Lord, here’s another problem for you.” And you keep doing it as often as needed. Prayer isn’t an express lane at the supermarket. There isn’t a twelve-item limit. Every time you humbly and faithfully take another fear or worry to the Lord as part of your spiritual battle, you draw closer to and strengthen your relationship with Him. Prayer allows you to see your fears in their proper light. If you see God for who He is, you’ll see your fears and problems for what they are—spiritual weapons that work only when you try to counter them with non-spiritual weapons. In Jeremiah 32:27, God says, “I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?” (NLT). The answer, of course, is no. So, if you’re fighting a spiritual battle right now, take it to God. Reflection question: What might keep you from taking a problem or worry to God in prayer?
