Irrepressible

Philippians 1:12-18 — “The things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel…” One of the reasons why Paul wrote to the Christians at Philippi was to allay their concerns about his imprisonment. He was under house arrest in Rome waiting to appear before Caesar, and the Philippians were…

Countercultural Love

Philippians 1:1-11 — “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment…” This is the first sermon in a new series of messages from Paul’s Letter to the Philippians.

Why was the unjust steward commended for…
