Join a stirring sermon that urges believers to run like athletes for Christ—forget the past, pursue God's high calling, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. Through personal stories and Scripture (Philippians 3, David, Moses, and Paul), you'll be encouraged to memorize God's Word, serve boldly, and share the gospel with zeal. ---- The High Calling of God Text: Philippians 3:1-14 Thesis: As the Apostle Paul saw it, “The Christian is the Athlete of Christ!” (How do you see yourself?) “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” (vs. 13a) J It appears at first that Paul can't count! The Greek word for “forgetting” literally means “to neglect or avoid” The fact is there are things in your past that can rob you of Joy and prohibit Spiritual Growth. Past Sins Putting confidence in the flesh! (see vs. 2-6) The Apostle Paul speaks strongly (harshly) about those who try to please God by doing His well in the flesh. “Watch out for those dogs.” (vs2) The Apostle Paul esteems Jesus highly, “Who put no confidence in the flesh” (vs3c) In Phil 4:13, Paul makes it clear, “I can do all things…” “Straining towards what is ahead.” “Straining”-means to extend or stretch forward. Paul envisions us as being “Spiritual Athletes of Christ!” ILL. God is calling us to be intentional and have intensity in our relationship with God.  1st- Run to God! “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” (James 4:8) MEMORIZE THE WORD 2nd Run to God through Jesus Christ! Jesus made it clear, to his disciple, that he was the only way to God. (John 14:6) 3rd   Run to God, through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit! “In the last days they will have a form of Godliness but denying his power. Have nothing to do with them.” (2 Timothy 3:5) ---- Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect   With Pastor Chuck Ryan.  

Happiness is so much deeper than just a fleeting feeling—it's a fullness of life that goes beyond what circumstances can take away. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 NIV) While challenges and uncertainties can dim our mood, remember that the life He offers is unshakeable—a wholeness no busy schedule, changing weather, nor tough news can steal away.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from Philippians 3:10 on the importance of getting to know Jesus. Paul emphasized that no matter what valuables he had, none of them were more important than to know Jesus.

"Faith; Our Citizenship is in Heaven"Scripture: Philippians 3:20Messenger: Apostle Suzanne M Howard

Have you ever started a project and never finished it? A half-done house project, a forgotten resolution, a dream left on the shelf? The good news is this: God is not like us. When He starts something, He always finishes it. In Philippians 1:6, Paul reminds us that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” That means your story isn't over. Your failures, struggles, and unfinished chapters are not the end—God is still working. In this message we'll discover:✅ Why we can have confidence in God's faithfulness✅ How to trust Him when life feels unfinished✅ The hope we have that His work in us will be completed Be encouraged—God hasn't given up on you. What He begins, He will bring to completion.

Send us a textPrayer for Joy, Gratitude, and Strength in Difficult Times | Philippians 4:4 – Daily Christian Prayer PodcastHave you ever struggled to feel joy when life feels overwhelming? In today's Daily Christian Prayer Podcast, recorded in London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper leads a powerful five-minute devotional prayer on Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”This prayer devotional explores the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting joy rooted in God's presence. True joy is not dependent on circumstances—it is a spiritual discipline grounded in gratitude and strengthened by faith.As we pray together, Reverend Cooper invites listeners to embrace gratitude as the foundation for breakthrough joy. Whether you face financial pressure, grief, anxiety, or uncertainty, this time of prayer reminds us that joy can exist alongside hardship. We learn that “the joy of the Lord is our strength,” empowering us to rise on wings like eagles, to stand bold as lions, and to walk through life's valleys without fear.This devotional highlights how intentional gratitude for even the simplest blessings—the breath in our lungs, the chance to pray, the presence of loved ones—can transform our perspective. Joy is not passive; it is an act of faith that shifts our mindset, lifts depression, and renews hope.Through biblical life application, you are encouraged to see every day as a breakthrough day, filled with divine opportunities for renewal. Like Israel at the Red Sea or the Jordan River, we are reminded that God can make a way when there seems to be no way.Scripture: Philippians 4:4 – “Rejoice in the Lord always.

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:19-23SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where we provide additional resources to support your Walk with God. The Book of Philippians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the believers in Philippi. Paul deeply loves these brothers and sisters, who have been his partners in spreading the Gospel message. He extends the grace and peace of Christ to them. Paul desires to see these believers again, but he is uncertain about the outcome of his trial before Nero in Rome. "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 Paul reminds his readers to reflect on Jesus' example: Jesus Christ humbled Himself as a servant and died a criminal's death. He encourages us to “press on.” Even though we have not yet achieved perfection, we will be spiritually perfected when we are welcomed into heaven. "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14Paul concludes his letter with a beautiful doxology and benediction."And to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen." Philippians 4:21"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit." Philippians 4:23SONG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQUTvMtUhw4

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:14-18SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where we provide additional resources to support your Walk with God. Paul's heart rejoices, and he expresses his gratitude. Epaphroditus and others delivered the gift from the Philippians to Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome. They recognized his suffering—awaiting trial before Nero—and wished to demonstrate their care and concern for him. "Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles." Philippians 4:14As their spiritual leader, Paul aims to assist them in developing the “grace of giving.” He uses a business term here—this gift is credited to your account. When they gave a gift to Paul, they gave it to the Lord and His work. "They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God." Philippians 4:18bIn the Old Testament, various types of sacrifices—incense, grain offerings, and animal sacrifices—were presented to God that pleased and were acceptable to Him. Sacrifices were also given in the New Testament, with the greatest being Christ's offering of Himself for the sins of all mankind. "Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:2 SONG: "Offering" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vA6rDvY7dU

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:10-13SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can find additional resources to support your Walk with God. What brings you joy? Are there specific moments when your heart feels joyful? Paul uses "rejoice" in the book of Philippians 7 times and "joy" 5 times. "I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it." Philippians 4:10 The Philippian church had encouraged and financially supported Paul earlier in his ministry. Once again, they ministered to Paul, and he expressed his joy and gratitude to them. Paul wants them to understand that he has learned to be content in every circumstance of his life. Contentment is not natural for most of us; it must be learned and experienced over time.Paul identifies the source of his sufficiency as being “in Christ,” who grants strength to believers. He had learned to trust God in every circumstance.“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 SONG: "I Surrender All" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3u51j4W1vk

Scripture: Philippians 4:6-9

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:8-9SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. As Paul concludes his letter to the believers in Philippi, he urges them to apply these teachings in their lives. · "Rejoice. Again, I say rejoice!"· "Do not be anxious. Pray about everything."· "Give thanks 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." Philippians 4:7 (NLT)The believers in Philippi had learned and received many valuable lessons from Paul, their teacher. They had personally heard his teaching and witnessed his example. Paul urged them to apply these teachings in their daily lives. "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8The most challenging area of sin in a believer's life is not the sphere of actions but the discipline of thought. Dr. Dwight Pentecost As we practice these things, Paul tells us, “The God of peace will be with you.” SONG: "Holy Song" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7esDa9iDUWc

Date:Sunday, February 2, 2025 Title:Finding Yourself in Christ [8:00 a.m.] Scripture:Philippians 3:2-16 Sermon by:Tommy Overton Sermon Series:WinterGrace 2025 - God's Grace in Christ Alone

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:4-7SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, please visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to strengthen your Walk with God. In chapter one, Paul tells us that he is writing from prison, most likely in Rome, where the wicked Emperor Nero reigned. While it may seem easy to rejoice from a place of safety and comfort, Paul can rejoice because of his deep relationship with the Lord. There will be attacks from the world and personality clashes among believers; nonetheless, Christians are called to maintain a spirit of joy in the Lord. We are not immune to sorrow, discouragement, or pain, nor should we be insensitive to the troubles of others. However, we should view God's will as our highest joy and thus be able to experience inner peace and joy in every circumstance. "Keep your gentle nature so that all people will know what it looks like to walk in His footsteps. The Lord is ever present with us." Philippians 4:5 (The Voice) Paul argues that believers cannot find true happiness without striving to bless others. To encourage his readers, Paul reminds them that "the Lord is near." This establishes a crucial link between having a longsuffering, gentle spirit and the reality of the Lord's presence with us. We are called to prayer instead of sitting in our anxious thoughts and worrying. The phrase "the peace of God" does not appear elsewhere in the New Testament. This peace comes from God. It envelops us when we pray, allowing us to experience the tranquility of God's presence. We cannot fully comprehend this peace or its release from the pressure and strain of our circumstances."And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7We hope you'll take some time this week to listen to the song we selected for worship.SONG: "Peace" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW6xcmqfiY4

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:17-21SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to help you grow in your walk with Jesus. Paul expresses affection for his readers several times in chapter three of Philippians. "Dear brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us." Philippians 3:17 His invitation is not prideful but reflects his personal journey with the Lord over the past few decades. Paul has faced many trials, endured much suffering, and confronted significant challenges in life. He is a bit further along the path and encourages them to follow his example and those of Timothy and Epaphroditus.In verses 18 and 19, Paul expresses strong emotion as he warns against those who “walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.” Do not follow these people! Their minds are set on earthly things, but we are citizens of heaven, and we are eager for Him to return as our Savior."He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control." Philippians 3:21 Be encouraged and hold on to these precious words from the Apostle Paul.SONG: "More Like Jesus" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbh9GtHuDAY

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:12-16SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to support your Walk with God. As we begin today's passage, remember that Paul is not looking at his Damascus Road conversion and saying, “I've arrived.” For Paul and each of us, the spiritual life is a journey, and we should seek to progress in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to know Him better. "Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own because Christ Jesus has made me his own." Philippians 3:12Progress, not perfection. Paul encourages us to “press on.” We have not yet attained perfection. We will be spiritually perfected only when we are promoted to heaven. Many of us are familiar with this famous quote – “I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.” - John NewtonMay this song encourage you in your daily walk with God.
