First Church of Christ, Bluffton

We all tend to worry about things. But what ought we do with those worries? In Philippians 4:2-9, we see what it means to take our worries and hand them over to the God of peace.

What is more important? Competency or character? What does success look like? In this message, we see how Paul articulates success in the kingdom of God through two real-life people who he used as sermon illustrations.

Paul calls the Philippian church stars in the night. But what comes first, what allows them to shine is the difficult work of joining God in the work He is doing in them. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. That was Paul's command to us. Let's find out what that means.

Joy is not an occasion, a circumstance, or a feeling. It's a path. It's a way.

In Philippians 1:27-30, Paul talks about an uncomfortable topic. That topic? Suffering. But he shows us what it takes for us to endure and to move forward in the midst of it.

What does a "good life" look like? What matters most in this life? In Philippians 1:21-26, we see a clear picture of what a "good life" really looks like.

What's your greatest desire in life? Paul had an eager expectation for something very specific. If we want to live into the life God is calling us to, we'll adopt that same expectation, that same desire.

In Philippians 1:1-11 Paul begins his letter to the church in Philippi. This was a church that he, by the power of God, began in Acts 16. He adored them and wanted to encourage them. Even while he himself was in chains.
