Know Jesus

Worthy of Honor

In Philippians 1:27, Paul encourages Christians to live “lives worthy of the gospel.” In chapter 2 he says that begins by changing our mindset to think like Jesus, the he closes the chapter by giving examples of two people who are living that life. How are we living?  



Trust Me

When doubts spreads too far, it begins to erode our trust in God. Throughout scripture God’s people struggled with this problem. When we turn to scripture, we can find constant reminders of why God has earned their trust and ours.  



Shine Like Lights

After explaining how Jesus considered His life on earth, Paul explains how we can be more like Him. When we follow the example of Jesus, our lights can shine to point others to Him.
