We're excited to kick off a fresh round of consideration in our time together as we explore another great idea of Scripture found in Philippians 2:1-4. Where does Christian Unity come from anyways?" AND What does it mean to "consider one another as more important than yourselves?"

This Sunday we get to consider another great idea of Scripture found in Philippians 1:27-30. How do we "live life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ?" AND What does it mean to be a "live as a citizen of heaven?"

To Live Is Christ | Philippians 1:18–26 In this message, we look at Paul’s striking words: “To live is Christ, to die is gain.” From a prison cell, Paul writes with unshakable joy and purpose—showing us what it means to live fully for Jesus no matter the circumstance. We’ll explore how his perspective reframes both life and death, calling us to honor Christ with our whole selves and to find deep meaning in our everyday faith. This passage invites us to consider what it looks like to magnify Christ in all we do, to reflect His love and sacrifice, and to hold fast to the hope of being with Him forever. Whether you’re wrestling with purpose, suffering, or the tension of faith in the real world, this teaching will encourage you to see every moment—life and death alike—as an opportunity to know and display Jesus.

This week we focus on Philippians 1:12-18, where we get to unpack Paul's amazing statements about how to understand some of those moments in life that are hard to explain. Why would God allow this or that to happen? Why wouldn't God want so and so to be free and clear to take the gospel here or there? Why do some people who seem to be motivated by selfish ambitions always seem to be so unencumbered or successful compared to me? These are perennial questions in the Christian life that can often slow us up... but why does Paul seem so unaffected by them and what can we learn from his divinely inspired understanding?

Join us this week to take a closer look at Paul's prayer in Philippians 1:7-11

Sermon on Philippians 3:12-4:1, where Paul teaches us that we are to strive after or live in pursuit of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, walking in the power of Christ's resurrection.

What is the nature and indications of Grace-based partnerships? We will be diving into this amazing question on Sunday and seeing how, for Paul, partnership in God‘s way led him to immense joy. So, WHY do our partnerships (and friendships) often end in something far from joy? Is there a word of wisdom that Paul expresses which might give us some insight? I’m excited to consider these questions with you all on Sunday as we move into our second week in the “Letter to the Philippians.”

Welcome to our new sermon series on the Book of Philippians! We're introduced to this important letter written by Paul and Timothy to the early church in Philippi, the first European church and a Roman colony. We explore the deep meaning behind being "servants of Christ Jesus," the significance of Christian identity as saints "in Christ," and the central theme of joy even amid suffering. We'll uncover how Paul’s experiences in Philippi, including challenges with Roman authorities and the faith of believers like Lydia, shape his message. This series invites us to see our lives and communities as part of God’s purposeful plan, reminding us that nothing is accidental and that true peace and identity come from Christ alone. Join us as we 'consider' together through the book of Philippians, discovering how to live faithfully and humbly in Christ today.

In Philippians 4, Paul expresses deep gratitude for the church’s support, showing how a heart anchored in Christ overflows with thanksgiving. His testimony reminds us that true joy comes not from what we receive but from a faith that trusts God’s provision in every season.

Contentment isn’t found in circumstances but in Christ. In Philippians 4, Paul reveals the secret to lasting peace—trusting God’s provision and strength in every situation. True satisfaction comes not from what we have but from who He is.

Sermon on Philippians 3:14, where the Apostle Paul exhorts us to press on toward the mark of the upward call in Christ Jesus, seeking to attain even to the measure of the resurrection in our holiness & fellowship with the Lord, as it were.

The Apostle Paul offers a powerful reminder to "rejoice in the Lord always" (Phil. 4:4) and invites us to experience a joy that is rooted not in circumstances, but in the unchanging nature of God.

Sunday, December 29, 2024 – It’s the last Sunday of 2024 – hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by once again. I say once again because 2025 is going to go by even faster (or at least it will seem to). I’m taking this week and next to review the two books of the Bible that we worked our way through last year. We began with a study on Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi, so the book is aptly named Philippians. This is one of 13 books written by Paul (14 if you believe he wrote the book of Hebrews). In this book, Paul didn’t correct any bad theology or address false teachers; rather, he focused on how to find joy in the process of living through every circumstance in life. What a timely and needed study for us in the times we are living in! One of the most significant takeaways for me was defining joy as truly having peace no matter the situation. Joy can easily be confused with happiness, but it is hardly related. However, joy is tightly connected with peace. This is one of the main points Paul makes: as we learn how to rejoice in all things, God brings us a peace that passes all understanding, and with that comes a joy that the world cannot take away. Worship and study along with us.

What does it mean to live the Christian Life?

Village Baptist Church exists to win people to Christ and develop them into active disciples: equipping them to serve as ministers in the church, community, and around the world, leading them to worship God in spirit and truth.

WWJD bracelets were all the rage at one time. Their intent was to get the wearer to ask themselves, “What would Jesus do?” The problem with this is that one’s answer was totally subjective. Two people could have two radically different views as to what Jesus would do in any given situation. A better question to ask, and one that drives us to the gospels rather than our preconceived notions, is “What did Jesus do?” That’s precisely the question Paul asks as he presents Jesus as the perfect example of humility.

Television shows like Survivor have become a window into the selfishness that characterizes our culture and fallen humanity as a whole. As contestants lie, cheat, and steal to gain advantage over their opponents, we recognize the same self-seeking, self-aggrandizing mindset that is all around us and, unfortunately, often within us. This mindset, while pervasive in 21st century America, is hardly unique to us. The early church had to contend with it, as well; it was, in fact, threatening to pull the Philippian church apart. As Paul continues the appeal for unity he began at the end of Philippians 1, we see some of the basic facts about the role our humility plays.

As Paul moves into the main body of his letter to the Philippians, he has every reason to be miserable. He is a prisoner of Rome, shackled to a soldier night and day, and facing the prospect of execution. Additionally, a portion of the church at Rome is apparently seeking to bring harm or misfortune to him in his imprisonment. Despite all this, Paul has a true and abiding joy. In our text this morning, Paul gives two reasons for this joy, that we would do well to consider
