Working Lights (Philippians 2:12-18)

jon whaley — Mon, 04 May 2020 14:00:00 +0000

In the midst of a confusing time, in a confusing world, what are God’s people supposed to do? This Sunday we will look at Philippians 2:12-18. In that passage, the Apostle Paul encourages Christians to work and to shine as lights. In other words, we are to be “Working Lights.” A light that is not working is not very useful. Fortunately for us, God promises to work in His people. As in all things, we can trust Him. As you prepare for the message, read the passage and ask yourself, “What does it mean for me to work out my salvation and shine like a light? How can I do that?”

What Is Love? (Philippians 2:1-11)

jon whaley — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:00:00 +0000

God loves you. It’s true! God loves you. Even though we are in a confusing time, we know that this is true. The best example of love that we have in the Bible is our Lord and Savior Himself, Jesus Christ. By looking at Him we can see what true love is and learn how we can show love to others.
