Humility that Looks Like Jesus

Reordered: A Life Centered on Christ

In Philippians 1:12–26, Paul shows us what it looks like to have a life centered on Christ. Writing from prison, he isn’t discouraged—he’s rejoicing. Why? Because the gospel is advancing, Christ is being proclaimed, and God is working through it all. Big Idea: A life centered on Christ reorders our mission and reshapes our vision. Paul reminds us: Our mission is gospel advancement Our lives aren’t about recognition, but Christ being known Prayer and the Spirit sustain the work And ultimately: “To live is Christ, and to die is gain.” What are you living for?

Humility that Looks Like Jesus

Let your Conduct Reflect the Gospel

What God Starts He Finishes

How God Builds His Church

In Acts 16, we see how God builds His church in unexpected ways. What looks like closed doors and changed plans turns into gospel breakthrough. Paul thought he knew where he was going—but the Holy Spirit redirects him to Philippi. And there, God saves three very different people: a businesswoman, a slave girl, and a jailer. Different backgrounds. Different stories. Same gospel. In this sermon, we explore: How God directs His people through closed doors and clear calls Why confusion doesn’t mean God is absent How the gospel transforms every kind of person What it looks like to trust God’s leading in your own life No matter where you find yourself today, this passage reminds us: God is still guiding, still saving, and still building His church.
