Philippians 3:1-11
Is your identity built around your own accomplishments or memberships? Paul makes it clear that we can have no confidence in these. The hope of the world is in Christ, but Christ is in us. As we focus on living for Christ, we find ultimate meaning in life, and can impact the world with His love.

Philippians 2:19-30
In this portion of Paul's letter, he addresses the spiritual qualities of Timothy and Epaphroditus. We see that modern expectations for success are the reverse of those in the Kingdom, where serving others and making disciples are valued. No matter where we serve, we have supreme value before God, because Jesus has supreme value before God. The humble will be exalted.

Philippians 2:12-18
As Paul writes to the Philippian Church, he encourages them to grow, even though he was absent. Jesus is to remain first in our focus. He discouraged them from grumbling and complaining, but to remember that the same God works within all of us. We need to be patient, and pour ourselves out for one another. The service closed with us taking Communion.

Philippians 2:1-11
A Christian's task is not to just rescue people from Hell and this world. Jesus carved out a path for Christians to follow while in this world now, to be ambassadors of His love. In much of America, that path has become overgrown. As more of us walk in His path, with long obedience in the same direction, the more that path will become visible to the world.

Philippians 1:27-30
We are to live as citizens of Christ's Kingdom, which means serving one another, willing to lay down our rights. Paul laid down his privileges as a Roman citizen, so that he could identify with those believers who were not. Jesus stood silent and suffered for us, when He could have taken advantage of His own privileges.

Philippians 1:19-26
The Church exists for the purpose of loving and glorifying Jesus, as a beacon of light. Despite life's struggles, you should desire it more than heaven, because this world needs you. Your life matters. The way Christians face life and death is our biggest testimony to the power of the resurrection.

Philippians 1:12-18
As we continue the study of Philippians, we see Paul emphasizing that everything in our lives should be focused on Christ. He notes that even his time in prison was being used to further the gospel of Jesus. We should rejoice in any way that the Good News of Jesus is being made known.

Philippians 1:1-11
Each of us has a "master story" that guides the way we live. It may be an ideology, a critical event in our life, the drive for success, etc. These represent the world's narrative which is to compare ourselves with others. The master story of Christ involves humbly serving others. Christians should be a Jesus-like, Cross-shaped family.

Mark 12:28-34
In his first sermon as Immanuel's Senior Pastor, Daniel reminds us that the foundation for revival is Jesus, who challenged us to love God and love our neighbor. As we are ambassadors and disciples of Christ, the world is transformed by the love of God.

Pastor Will concluded his series, reminding us how we can face the uncertain future in the power of Christ. Paul set the example, since he knew Christ goes with us and before us. We can face the future with confidence, with a sense of commitment, cheerfully, and with courage.
