Spiritual Stability Part Two
Sunday, 30 January 2011
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 4:4-7
Description:
We learn two more principles of spiritual stability. The first principle is having gentleness, even in the midst of hostility. Nothing can be more unsettling then harsh words or actions against us. However, resolving to display gentelness fortifies us in such situations. The second principle is laying our burdens before God. Instead of allowing anxiety to distrub us, we must give them to God. In turn, he will barricade our hearts with his peace.
Spiritual Stability Part One
Sunday, 23 January 2011
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 4:1-9
Description:
Stability. It is a necessary prerequisite for growth in the Christian life. Unfortunately, Chistians often struggle with establishing stability, thus remaining mired in a cycle of crisis and setbacks. As Paul begins the final chapter of Philippians, he outlines 6 principles of spiritual stability. The first is unity which fosters a nurturing environment for believers to grow. Second, joy allows the beleiver to delight properly in God and not to attach one's satisfaction in our shifting circumstances. We will look at more principles next week.
Focus On Heavenly Citzenship
Sunday, 16 January 2011
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 3:18-21
Description:
Paul closes this wonderful passage about pursing the prize by talking about our heavenly citizenship. We are citizens of heaven now, not just in the future. Therefore, we should live acordingly! One of our duties is to wait eagerly for the return of our Savior who will give us glorified, resurrected bodies. We explore how our resurrection bodies will be both similar and different to our present ones.
Examples to Help Run the Race
Sunday, 09 January 2011
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 3:17-21
Description:
As we press toward the prize of knowing Christ fully, the rece can be hard and we need help. A key ingredient to running the race well is the examples of others Example is often mentioned in scripture and it is a powerful means of spiritual growth as we model those who are further alone in the Christian life.
Eyes On The Prize
Sunday, 02 January 2011
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 3:12-16
Description:
By coming to know Christ, Paul has gained abundant spiritual blessing-righteousness from God, power to live triumphanthy through trials, and so on. However, Paul makes it abundantly clear that he has not arrived at a state of spiritual perfection. Using the imagery of a runner, Paul says that hs is straining forward to the goal, the prize of knowing Christ fully.
Knowing Jesus
Sunday, 26 December 2010
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 3:7-11
Description:
In a very personal passage,Paul discusses how all of his previous religious efforts and heritage that he regarded as gains he now regards as one gigantic loss. In fact, compared to knowing Christ, they are rubbish. Now, he possesses true righteousness, the righteousness of Christ. Also, he knows the power and sufferings of Christ.
The Birth of Jesus
Sunday, 19 December 2010
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Luke 2:1-7
Description:
The birth of Jesus is told in such a remarkably simple fashion. Underneath its simplicity lies powerful truths of God's sovereign control of world events to bring about his purposes through ordinary people. Since the passage does not explictly say, we will also explore where Jesus was born.
Philippians Three
Sunday, 12 December 2010
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Philippians 3:1-6
Description:
How is a person made right with God? Unfortunately, most people generally believe it is by their efforts so that God owes them eternal life. Biblically, this is all wrong. Our greatest accomplishments,are worthless because they cannot remove the stain and gult of sin. Moreover, are deeds can be detrimental if we rely on them. We are made right with God by trusting Christ who alone can take away are guilt.
Examples of Humility
Sunday, 05 December 2010
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims
Description:
To instill greater unity in the church, we must have greater humility. Paul has given much instruction and also pointed to the example of Christ. However, there is something very powerful about 'real life" examples that one can see with our own eyes. Therefore, Paul points to three examples of humility that all of his readers would have known.
Our Witness to a Dark World
Sunday, 28 November 2010
Speaker Name:
Pastor Bryan Sims | Phil 2:14-18
Description:
Last week, we learned about working out our salvation. This week, we learn how Paul specifically applies this principle to the Philippian church as they struggled with unity: do not grumble! Scripture instructs us that grumbling is a bid deal- it brings judgment from God and disuntiy in the church. Also, grumbling greatly damages our witness to the world.
