Paul's concern was always that Christ would be glorified in him. He expressed that same desire for the Philippian Church. Living a life worthy of Christ is best seen when we follow Jesus in all we do.
Paul's reassurance to the Philippian Church is that God is working even when it doesn't always look like it. We learn some important lessons from this part of his letter.
As he begins his letter to the Philippian Church, Paul turns the focus on the work that God has done and is doing in their lives. In this sermon from Philippians 1:1-11, entitled "Have a Long View," Pastor Scott shows us how those principles apply to our lives.
In his final instructions to the Church in Ephesus, Paul wants his readers to be fully equipped to live for Christ in an uncertain world.
In our text today, the Apostle Paul outlines the ways godly-oneness can be achieved in the family and in traditional and cultural power structures.
In this section, Paul begins reworking what became known as the household codes. The point is that we all should put one another first in relationships.
In this section, Paul is building on the concept of what it means to follow God's example as we trust in Jesus. He focuses on what it means to live the light of Jesus as we make a difference in a world that is often described as dark.
In this passage we are challenged to walk in the way of God's self-denying love. But the challenge is highlighted by characteristics that are NOT to be part of the life of an individual or a church.
In the second half of Ephesians 4, Paul gives his readers a more detailed list of what they need to "put off" in order to walk worthy of their calling to follow Jesus.
In a culture that was about position, prestige, status, and superiority, the temptation was to find short cuts to advance. Paul builds on the theme of maturity in the last section to show the Ephesian Church what it should look like for the Holy Spirit to permeate every area of life.
In this passage, we are reminded of the necessity to focus on Christ and to allow him to grow us individually and as a church toward a mature unity.
The Apostle Paul prays for the church in Ephesus to grow as a group, in their awareness of God's amazing love and the power it gives. We can learn from this prayer the importance of being fully engaged with our God.
In a lengthy parenthetical statement, the Apostle Paul issues a reminder, by his own example, that we all have a responsibility to reflect God's grace in our lives.
Christ breaks down barriers, nationally, ethnically, racially, and socially. When Christ is the focus of our lives and our church then we see other people through the lens of compassion and connection. God's desire is that his church, universal and local, be an example of truly Godlike harmony and unity.
In a passage that ends with familiar words we discover that we are not "saved" to go to heaven. We are saved, so that we can be truly alive and do the things that God has specifically created us to do. We are to be making a positive difference for God's Kingdom, right here and now.
