Join us this week as we look at Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

We're back in our Philippians series this Sunday, Joy No Matter What! Join us as we look at Philippians 3:17-21:

"Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself."

We're back in our Philippians series this Sunday, Joy No Matter What! Join us as we look at Philippians 3:12-16:

"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained."

What do you place your confidence in? All day long, we place our confidence in different things. Your day might even begin having been confident that the alarm clock will wake you up in the morning! Sometimes we place our confidence in friends, family, or even co-workers to be there and to do things things we need or expect them to do.

When it comes to our walk with the Lord—our spiritual strength, our ability to serve Him, and even our standing in God’s eyes—where do we place our confidence?

This week, we continue in our sermon series, Joy No Matter What, as we look at Philippians 3:1-11.

Philippians 3:4-9

“… If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.”

This week, we return to our sermon series, Joy No Matter What, with a look at Philippians 2:12-18. Here, Paul tells the church in Philippi how to shine in a world of darkness and how to stand out in a "crooked and twisted generation” in order to bring God glory and to them joy!

The call for the Church to shine in the darkness is not new, though it can be difficult when it seems like things are getting darker. It is easy to become discouraged and lose hope. But as we trust the Lord and walk with Him in obedience, we can be assured, like Paul, that we do not labor in vain—and for this we can all rejoice!

Philippians 2:12-18
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.”
