Today, Michael Acock speaks in the first message of a 10-week series as we walk through the book of Philippians. Today is an overview of the series and we look at Paul's relationship to the church in Philippi as a spiritual father. In Philippians, Paul is inviting us to:  1. Consider God’s activities and purposes in creation and salvation. 2. Reflect on God’s calling in our own lives. 3. Embrace a mindset that privileges others above ourselves. This letter, the book of Philippians, includes the themes of Christ as at once humble Lord and supreme paradigm of Christian life; of unity in Christ that overcomes the forces of dissension; of a readiness to suffer for the sake of the gospel that does not rob us of joy in Christ; of the radical difference between a righteousness of our own and a righteousness from God; and of a life of thanksgiving in mutual giving and receiving. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at o
