How to Rejoice in the Lord Always
In Philippians 4:4 Paul gives a command, not a suggestion. The key word in this verse is "always." In this lesson, we discuss how to do that even during times when we don't feel like.
How to be a Peacemaker
Unfortunately, peace is rare. Whether it be the nations, our country or even our churches, there is typically division and disputes. In Philippians 4:1-3, Paul steps in to try to resolve a conflict with two women. But, in doing so, he shows us a lasting process to follow to help bring about peace if we desire to be a peacemaker.
Keep Going Forward
The saddest person in the world is a discouraged Christian. Yet, discouragement happens to all. In Phil. 3:12-21, Paul gives a series of instructions to help Christians overcome discouragement and fulfill God's plan for them to keep moving forward!
Good Tidings of Great Joy
The birth of Jesus Christ changed the world. Even unbelievers admit the same every time they write the date. But how did the news of the Lord's birth impact those directly involved in the story? In this lesson we explore the reaction of the Shepherds who received the news of the birth of our Lord.
Father
There are so many ways the word "father" is used in Scripture, but the most important way is to refer to God as our Father. In this lesson we explore God as our Father through a epistle of Ephesians. Don't miss the blessing of having God as your Father!
Eliminating Joy Robbers from Your Life
The message of Philippians is the Christian life is "joyful" and, therefore, we should "rejoice." The Christian life is the best of all lives to live, but sometimes there are things that "rob" us of the joy of Christianity. In Phil. 3:1-11, Paul warns us about those things.
Sovereignty
What does a sausage biscuit have to do with Sovereignty? Sovereignty is the "rule of God." We love the concept, but we often don't like the ingredients or how it's made. But God really does reign and in this lesson we consider his qualifications to rule as the Sovereign God.
The Secret to the Christian Life
What's the secret to life? We believe the secret to life is the Christian life! But what's the secret to the Christian life? In this lesson we look into the life of a young preacher named Timothy who shows us the real secret to the Christian life: It's not about you!
Crucify
Sometimes words lose meaning. When is the last time you really considered what the word "crucify" entails? This lesson explores how we should understand this word as it impacted Christ, the first century world and God's plan of salvation for us.
How to Enjoy Your Work
Have you ever wondered what "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" really means? In this lesson we explain what it doesn't mean and what it does mean. And we also explain how that fits into the overall theme of "joy" in the book of Philippians.
