Let me tell you a little bit about what last Sunday looked like for me and my family in our home. It was one of the most unique Easter Sundays we’ve ever experienced. We stayed home all day, which was not something we normally do, which is usually...

We’ve been walking through the book of Philippians in our series entitled “Relentless Joy” and I’ve been thankful to the Lord for it. I don’t know about you, but especially in our day and age, God in His sovereignty has seen fit to bring us to this...

We’ve called our series “Relentless Joy,” because Philippians is a book about finding joy amidst any of life’s difficult circumstances. This morning we’ll be looking at Philippians 3:1-11, but I want to begin by asking are you surviving or are you...

Turn in your Bible to Philippians 2. We’ve entitled this series “Relentless Joy,” which began in January. We’re studying this four-chapter letter written by the Apostle Paul to a church in the city of Philippi, which is located in modern-day Greece...

In these unfaithful times, we must recognize the... 1.  Chaos we face.     Our chaotic lives...       •  Are difficult       •  Lead to disappointment       •  Cause us to despair       •  Take place for different reasons 2.  Counterfiets we turn...

Turn in your Bibles to Philippians 2. We’re in a series we’ve entitled “Relentless Joy” and are on a journey to find the joy we’re missing and which the world advertises but leaves us wanting more. As Christ-followers, we have come to realize the more...

The year was 1941 and a man named George de Mestral—someone most, if not all of us, have never heard of—went out for a walk with his dog. It was an enjoyable walk, but when he returned, he noticed something that was very annoying. He had burrs from...

We experience the fullness of joy when we practice the presence of God. Practicing the presence of God means... 1.  Loving God's people. 2.  Turning from sin. 3.  Cultivating contentment. 4.  Pursuing God's ways.
