Phillipians 3:1-21, 4:7-9, John 14:1-21
A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. A striking parallel emerges as we move further into Paul's epistle. In chapter 2, we heard Paul singing his great Christ hymn (Philippians 2.6-11). Now, following the worthy examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus (2.19-30), “Paul's own story bears the imprint of Christ's way of self-emptying and exaltation” (Daniel Migliore). Hearing Paul's personal story in chapter 3, alongside Christ's hymn in chapter 2, we find a kind of call and response, a divine voice and human echo. In both, we find a movement first to the depths then to the heights (Migliore). We sing of the profound self-emptying of Christ "who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant,” (Philippians 2.6-7a). This is the glorious humility of Jesus toward us. In Paul's story, we see someone who discovers that all the things he held dear, all the pieces of his former piety, were useless, refuse, loss. His descent is discovering his life has been upside down. All the bona fides became meaningless when Paul, having fallen to the ground, heard the voice of Jesus (Acts 9). This led to the parallel upswing of movement to the heights. In Christ's obedience to the Father, enduring the cross, dying in our place, God the Father “highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” (2.9-11). For Paul, it is in knowing Christ that he found himself drawn upward. It is in Jesus he found the goal to press toward, “the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” (3.14). Friend, as we increasingly identify with Christ in His suffering, we find ourselves embraced more completely in His glory. Our salvation becomes more secure as we are justified by Christ, sanctified by the in-working of His Spirit and look hopefully for the eternal day we are glorified in resurrection (3.9-11).
A Sunday morning sermon by Peter DuMont. It is a truism in our culture that non-reciprocal giving can make people uneasy. People don't always like the thought of others receiving what they have not earned. Extravagant generosity like this can seem a disruption to the moral order. This was part of the criticism levelled against Paul's message of righteousness given apart from the keeping of the law. If people are simply given righteousness as a free gift, what becomes of their motivation toward Godliness? Paul answers this critique in our passage for Sunday. Yes, he puts no confidence in his own human accomplishments to make him worthy before God. Yes, he surrenders everything to receive from God a righteousness that rests only on faith in the Giver. But how Paul uses that gift is the key factor – he does not see himself as perfect by virtue of the gift of God; rather he responds to God's empowering gift by using it to pursue the full working of Godliness within himself that his own efforts could not accomplish. The free gift enables the accomplishment of what his own efforts could not achieve – movement toward “the upward call of God in Christ.” Paul gives his own life as an example and invites the Philippian brothers and sisters to imitate him in doing so within their own lives. There is a profound witness for us as those on a spiritual journey toward God. God meets us, gives us what we cannot secure ourselves, and invites us through his messengers to put that gift to use pressing further into the goodness and life of God. Let's come to worship this week eager to receive the good gifts of God and put them to beautiful usage within our lives before God.
A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Before the start of my Senior year, I had a surprise chance to come to the States, so I set out from the island of Bioko in Central Africa for far off middle America. The whole way across the Atlantic, I had almost exclusively one thing on my mind: new music! I was barely settled in my room at a small hostel for missionary kids in college, and I was looking for a ride to record store. It might be hard to remember what it was like in the days before streaming and clouds and the digital revolution we're currently in, but back then, unless I wanted to buy grainy knock off cassettes in Nairobi, the land of music was America. Barely had my feet touched the ground and I was loading up sample CDs at the store. One of those CDS has become one my favorites, one I go back to time and time again. It's Purpose by Design by Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ. This album sprints out the gate on the first track, with "I Want My Destiny." You can feel the theology of the song as much as the funky slap bass. This song is a time capsule in my journey of faith. It sings of a life redeemed by Christ. It rejoices in a life recreated for purpose. It shouts of a passion to serve the One “Who brought me and is able to keep me” and to follow Jesus “to the place where He has need of me.” These lyrics provide the surround sound of Apostle Paul's album to the Philippians. His entire epistle, according to G. Walter Hansen is Paul “urging them to join with him in his own journey to know Christ.” Hearing his epistle, set to this soundtrack, we are challenged to recognize, in Christ, our eternal citizenship has current blessing bearer responsibilities. Our salvation is fire insurance. It's calling. It's purpose. We must start living out our citizenship now. Enthusiastically awaiting Jesus' return, “with the time we have / Let's waste not all on selfish reasons / But we must seek to please Him first / Find His will upon the Earth” so that “When they look back from death to birth / They'll say they've seen Him.”

Big Idea of the Series: In this eight-week series on the book of Philippians, we will examine the source of Paul's defiant joy while he lived under house arrest in Rome. The apostle Paul was a light to the Philippians, radiating joy to a church disheartened by their mentor's imprisonment. Like Paul's letter to the church in Philippi, this series is designed to encourage the church to find joy in the midst of suffering, bringing hope to the hurting.Key Truth: A Christ follower's joy defies their situationKey Verse: Philippians 1:3–5Summary: Paul's joy defied his situation. Christians are called to turn their bad experiences into inspirational testimonies—living to comfort others with the same comfort that we have received from God.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/Join us in person:https://legacychurchhutto.comMusic used with permission:Dreamers by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com

In This Episode: What are the divisions of Satan's army, and how do they target believers? How do bitterness, pride, and jealousy serve as weapons for spiritual warfare? Could Christians unknowingly be aiding the enemy? Today, Jim and Lonaiah unpack a vivid and sobering vision from Rick Joyner's The Final Quest. This week, we dive deep into Satan's end-time army—its organization, its weapons, and its tactics. Rick Joyner's vision reveals divisions of demons operating under banners like pride, self-righteousness, and jealousy, each with their own roles in spiritual warfare. But here's the unsettling part: some Christians were found marching in Satan's army, unknowingly ridden by demons. What does it mean to live in agreement with the enemy? How can we protect ourselves from being used by Satan's forces? We also break down the importance of spiritual armor, the subtle attacks of "scout" demons like rejection and bitterness, and how these create openings in our lives. Are you unintentionally leaving yourself vulnerable to spiritual attacks? What steps can you take to stand strong? This episode isn't just about identifying the enemy—it's about understanding the power and authority we have in Christ to resist these attacks and live victoriously. The battle is real, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Are you ready to fight?

Hey y'all ! Welcome to another Friday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode, our host, Ally Yost felt prompted by the Lord to just sit and have real, vulnerable conversation together. We talk about what it looks like to deal with anxiety as a Christian in today's generation. If you or someone you know has dealt or struggled with anxiety, just know there is freedom to be had. When we walk with Jesus and open our hearts to Him, there's so much freedom in that and you hold authority with God. "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."
