He then addresses an issue that often steals our joy - worry. God reminds us through Paul that we can conquer worry by replacing it with prayer. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything." When we pray we experience the true peace of God and that peace will help us mind and heart of joy.

- Humbly acknowledging that we have not arrived yet, is a starting place.
- Devoting ourselves to the race, "forgetting" the past, and keeping our eyes on our goal will help us run well.
- Following faithful examples and not following into the traps of others will help us to persevere.
- Living in light of our true citizenship will give us the perspective to run in every season.

In this message we see that our confidence must be found in Christ alone and not in ourselves. He alone is the means by which we are saved. Do you know about Jesus or do you really know him?

They both lived out the challenge giving in the little letter, by living in a way that is worthy of the Gospel by putting the needs of others above their own. The relationship between Timothy and Paul reminds us of the importance of investing in others. Epaphroditus is a wonderful example of God using regular people to advance the Kingdom of God. Are you investing in others? Are you using your gifts for God's glory? Will you press on when things get tough so that God can receive the glory through your life?

We can pour ourselves out as an offering to God by using our gifts together to point others to His love.

We also are reminded that, as Christ followers, our life goal should be to honor Jesus with whatever life brings. We see that Paul's perspective in the midst of his dire situation is: To live is Christ, to die is gain. What does this mean? We should regularly ask the question, "How can my current situation be used to bring glory to Christ?" Until we are ready to die, we are not truly ready to live.

That is why Paul is able to find joy even when finding himself in chains: because Christ is being preached and others are finding courage to share Him as a result. What are you chained to today? Is there a person who is a part of that situation who needs to see Christ in you?

Acts 16:12-40 and Hebrews 12:1-2
This is the introductory message to our series through the book of Philippians. We talk about the theme of the book and find that even at the church's beginning, 10 years before the letter was written, Paul was living a lesson of joy found in the midst of suffering. If God is the source of your joy, then your joy can never be taken away from you! - Aug 28, 2016Making the Most of Your TimeAug 28, 2016Making the Most of Your TimeSeries: Better TogetherColossians 3:16-17 and 3:23, Ephesians 5:15-20, Psalm 90:12, and 2 Peter 3:8-9This message is the conclusion of our summer long series Better Together.

This, like all forms of worship, must be done in both spirit and truth. Are you able to engage your mind around God's truth and also surrender your hearts to Him when you worship?

Romans 12 makes this charge as part of a challenge to a church body using their gifts together in order to love others. Could using our gifts be part of the sacrifice the Lord desires as worship?

We then look at each of the plagues through that lens. We too have been set free from slavery. The slavery of sin. We too have been set free to worship God.

In this message Jesus reminds us of the one thing worth being concerned about in this life. A thing that will not be taken away from us. Are you serving from an empty reservoir? Consider making it a habit to create space for being still in God's presence so He can fill you up on a regular basis.
