PHILIPPIANS - Encouragement Out Of Discouragement

LESSONS LEARNED FROM A GUY IN JAIL

As Paul begins the closing of this letter, he shares some vital points that are important for having peaceful relationships as well as peace of mind.

HOW TO HAVE PEACE FROM THE GOD OF PEACE

In verse 1 of PHILIPPIANS 4, Paul refers back to what he has just written as key to standing strong as God's beloved.

HOW TO STAND STRONG IN THE 21st CENTURY

From PHILIPPIANS 3, Pastor Alan declares how to beware of Christ's enemies, be confident in Christ alone, be found resting in Christ's righteousness, be conformed to Christ's death, and the importance being persistant in Christ's purposes.

BE'S THAT TAKE THE STING OUT OF LIFE

Unfaithful people are far too common in our culture and in the church. With clear truth and the hope of redemption, this sermon calls us all to cleanse our ways by heeding God's Word.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UNFAITHFUL

From Paul's teachings and personal examples we can easily see the importance of being faithful. In this sermon you will hear 3 of the primary characteristics of faithful people and how to apply them.

KEYS TO REFRAINING FROM COMPLAINING

By learning how to "work out" what God "works in" enables us to move forward in doing God's will - for our lives - with confidence and full surrender.

HOW TO LIVE JOYFULLY IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH

Learning from Paul the apostle, Pastor Alan compares some of the shadows of impending doom that he was facing with our challenges to living the Christian life in the 21st century.
