5 Portraits Of A Faithful Christian (Philippians 2:25)

Godly Examples Among Us (Philippians 2:25-30)

Notice all the emotional words used in Philippians 2:25-30: longing, distress, anguish, heaviness, sorrow, joy.  This full range of emotions when it comes to the relationships within the church family. Is this the way we feel about our church family? Do you long to see each other every week? Do you long to spend more time together? Are you in anguish when one of our church members is suffering? Do you rejoice when you see your brother and sister in Christ again? The church is to be highly relational and affectionate b/c of how much we love each other. And this love can only come from the love of Christ and the overflow of his love in our hearts towards his people. Christ centred, humbly serving others, and deep affection for one another: This is what the church is supposed to look like.

Trusting God Before The Miracle Comes (Joshua 3)

Some of you may be going through something that feels unsolvable, or a time of uncertainty where everything seems out of your control.If this is true of you, God has good news for you.In Joshua 3, we see a story that’s not just a story about Israel crossing a river. It’s a story about what it means to trust God when the way forward is not clear.

How God Uses The Most Unexpected People (Joshua 2)

As God is building His kingdom, if He asked you to make a list of all the people He should use, who would you choose?  Rahab would most likely be not on that list, but yet in Joshua 2, we read how God uses her powerfully.  Her story is not ultimately about a woman with a checkered past. It’s about a sovereign, gracious God who delights using the most unlikely people to accomplish His great purpose.

God's Glory Revealed (Psalm 19)

How often do we still fail to see and to acknowledge God’s glory? Is it the busyness of life that keeps us from glorifying God as we should. Maybe we just don’t prioritize having a relationship with Him in our day-to-day life. Or for some of you, maybe it’s because you have yet to meet our Lord and Saviour.    But one thing for sure, it’s not because God hides himself from the world. As we’ll see from Psalm 19, God wants himself to be known and for His glory to be seen by all, so that we can also be completely satisfied in Him and enjoy being in His presence forever.
