A Wedding Message, But Not For A Wedding!

Philippians 2:1-5

We made it to chapter 2! Though there is a chapter break, this passage flows from the previous one, yet Paul has moved on to a new thought. I use this passage in weddings all the time. It is a great one to teach about relationships. On this day though we’re going to look at more than just the husband/wife relationship. Do you have the right perspective and behavior about relationships?

A Song about Kenosis

Philippians 2:5-11

These verses comprise one of the earliest Christian hymns. It is likely that Paul just quotes the hymn here. It is a major Christological statement in the NT about Jesus' kenosis when he died for us. What is the kenosis? Only one of the most important biblical teachings in the whole New Testament! So come and join us as we sing a song about kenosis with Paul! It just might change the way you look at life.

Who Works?

Philippians 2:12-13

Paul says that we should work. And he says that God works. In Ephesians 2:8-9 he says that we saved by grace through faith, not by works. James says that faith without works is dead. What in the world is going on with all this talk about work? These two verses are very short, but they’ll go a long way to helping us understand our role and God’s role in “working out our salvation.”

God’s Stimulus Package

We welcome Rich Stevenson to Faith Church for Friend Day! Over the last year we’ve heard so much about economic stimulus. Promises from the government that an infusion of cash, huge amounts of cash, will help our economy from crashing. God has made promises to us too. What is his stimulus package? And will you invite some friends who need Christ to come hear?
