Philippians

Find a sermon associated with this book in the Bible below.

This sermon confronts the crippling nature of worry, arguing that it can only be overcome not by human effort, but by the supernatural "peace of God," which guards our hearts and minds. This peace is a fruit of the gospel, cultivated by actively thinking on God's truth, thanking Him in advance for His sovereignty, and loving Jesus who has already borne the weight of our sin and worry on the cross.

This sermon explains that the doctrine of the Incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus Christ—is the ultimate solution to the church's disunity, which is often rooted in a "glory-starved" pursuit of external validation. By a selfless act of humility, Jesus emptied Himself of His glory so that believers, in a substitutionary act, could be filled with His divine fullness, freeing them from the need for self-exaltation and empowering them to love others.

This sermon explains that humanity, as image-bearers of God, is meant to reflect His greatness and love, but our inherent self-centeredness prevents us from doing so. The message highlights Jesus as the ultimate model of humility, who, despite being God, willingly emptied himself by becoming a servant and dying on the cross, providing the path to true transformation and the ability to reflect God's image.

This sermon explains that true personal transformation and salvation come not from self-effort or religious performance but from a profound faith in Jesus, counting everything else as loss. The message emphasizes that this faith leads to a life of worship and obedience, motivated by love and gratitude for Christ's sacrifice, and a joyful anticipation of His return.
