The Enduring Church: United in Purpose

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11, 14-18

Even the church that is theologically sound and zealous for Christ isn’t in danger of the enemy’s attack, but where should such a church be especially on guard? In Philippians 2, Paul instructs on the importance of unity in the church and the danger of dividing over disputable matters.

Add. Ref.: John 17:17, 22-23, 25-16; Joshua 22:5-6, 10-12, 16, 22-27, 30-31

The Enduring Church: Anxious for Nothing

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon

Scripture: Philippians 4:1-7

Every year in America, more than 4,000 churches close their door. Nine out of ten pastors will quite. Such statistics, and many more prove the instability of the church today. However, the church’s stability has little to do the economy, finances, or building locations, but the theological convictions of the people of God. In this message, Matt Tarr shows why anxiety and fear is antithetical to a church that lasts.

Add. Ref.: Genesis 49:3-4

The Mindset of the Mature

Pastor Greg Lynch – An exposition of Philippians 3:12-16 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Sanctification is a long and sometimes difficult process all Christians undergo as we strive to become more Christ-like. But we should not be deterred. We should always focus on the goal and run the race as hard as we can, which should be the mindset of those who are mature in the faith.

Content in Every Circumstance

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 4:10-20

– Late in Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he makes a series of remarks about how he has learned to be content in every circumstance, whether plenty or want, sickness or health. Amidst these comments are a pair of verses that are often taken out of context when quotes, but an expositional sermon from Pastor Joe Schloegel sheds some light on what these verses really mean, and how Paul’s outlook can be applied to our own Christian walk.

Rejoice in Prayer

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 4:4-9

– In the 4th Chapter of his letter to the Philippians, Paul urges us to rejoice always, specifically in the Lord. This can come as a difficult concept to understand, especially when everything seems to be going wrong. Yet we are given this command, but we are also instructed in the following verses on how to live this rejoicing, and it involves proper prayer and proper thinking. Pastor Joe Schloegel explains to us the concept through this expository sermon.

Reconciliation Between Christians

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 4:1-3 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When a dispute arises among Christians, especially within the context of a local church body, there is a need for forgiveness and a need for reconciliation, and possibly a need for church discipline as well. How all of these factors should play out in a way that honors God is the focus of this sermon in Philippians 4 and elsewhere in Scripture.

Right Intentions

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 2:19-30

– In this expository sermon from Philippians, Pastor Joe Schloegel guides us through the correct mindset that a pastor should have by using the illustration of Timothy, while also demonstrating the proper mindset of a Christian by using the illustration of Epaphroditus.

Citizens of Heaven

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 2:12-30 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Our citizenship is not of this earth. Rather, we are citizens of heaven, and partakers of all that implies. This should manifest itself in our lives in a number of ways which are highlighted in this expository sermon from the second chapter of Philippians.

Be of One Mind

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 2:1-11

– In an exposition of Philippians 2, Pastor Joe Schloegel shows us the commands for Christians within the Body to be of one mind, having one soul, loving one another unconditionally and serving one another. This is reflected in the example set by Christ when he left His throne in heaven and took on human form. The point is reiterated that having right theology and proclaiming Truth is of the utmost importance in the life of the Church.
