    Complete My Joy | Philippians 2:1–4

    We are in Philippians chapter 2, and the first several verses connect directly to the last verses of chapter 1. Last week, we talked about Paul’s transition from himself — from the things happening around him — to the Philippian church. In that transition is a command to live in a manner worthy of the… Continue reading

    Living Worthy of the Gospel — Philippians 1:27–30

    Paul shifts the focus from himself to the church. Now it’s the church’s turn to let their lives align with the gospel — standing firm in unity, unafraid in the face of opposition. Continue reading

    How Things Were: Flat, Pregnant Feet

    The only thing she was thankful for in the moment was the fact that the road was dry. If it had been storming, there would have been no use in even trying to walk to her mother-in-law’s. She was perfectly aware that she would curse this day for the rest of her life. Her feet… Continue reading

    The Help of the Holy Spirit — Philippians 1:18–20

    Paul’s undefeated confidence comes not from natural strength but from two sources: the prayers of others and the active help of the Holy Spirit. The same is available to us. Continue reading

    How Things Were: Spoiled Plans

    Part 6 What was that noise? She sat up. It was dark, but a pale light was just touching the deep blue of late night. There were a few hours until sunrise, but it would be here soon. Outside the little shack, there was a rhythmic sound of thick fabric scraping on thick fabric, followed… Continue reading

    A Praying People

    Philippians 1:18–20 Good morning once again. As always, it’s a supreme blessing to be here. I love you guys, and I love doing this. And before I get into it, happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there — this isn’t a Mother’s Day sermon, but I do want to say thank you to… Continue reading

    How Things Were: Troubled Specter

    Herschel, with a small smile, watched Jean move around the kitchen, preparing dinner. It looked like she was floating from the stove to the sink to the pantry.
