series: philippians part#6

Sunday, December 10, 2023 – We continue studying Paul's book to the Philippian church. The title is "Live as Citizens of Heaven." Citizenship in America has become a big topic in our political world today, as it should be; to be a citizen is an important identity. One becomes a citizen of a country in one of two ways: 1. Birth or 2. Naturalized through a legal immigration process. Citizenship comes with many benefits, assuming one is a legal citizen. When one becomes a "naturalized citizen" or goes through a legal immigration process, their "Identity" changes. That identity change is essential for that person to become a productive member of that new country. Now, let's look at what it means to become a "Citizen of Heaven”. Heavenly Citizenship is the most important type. No one is born as a citizen of Heaven, instead, everyone is born as a citizen of this world. To become a Citizen of Heaven, there must be a legal immigration process, called Salvation. This is a huge change in identity. We know the condition of this world, and it isn't good; even though God created it perfectly, mankind has botched it up and has given control of it to Satan. Paul writes to the church in Philippi in our text that we "must live as citizens of Heaven." How do we become a citizen of Heaven, and what does it mean to live as one? That's what we're talking about today. Worship and study with us; I promise if we do what we discuss today, it will change your life.

In our walking through Philippians we come to a great passage that encourages us to have the mind of Christ in humility.

The 6th sermon in a series on Philippians. Paul encourages the Philippians to enjoy the joy of unity of fellowship that can only come when they are conformed to the mindset of Jesus: the God-Man who humbled himself in love! By entering into his humility with their own humility, the Christian life can really begin to blossom.

Gavin Swile's message from Sunday morning 13th June 2021

"...as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:20-21

Paul said of Timothy that he had no one else like minded. What set Timothy apart from all others, including those important to Paul and the ministry?

Have you lost your Joy and Peace. Listen to Leigh as we dive into Philippians and discover how we can regain our Joy.

Since believers enjoy union with Christ, we should unite in a manner worthy of Christ.

Having the mind of Christ in us goes contrary to the ways of the world and the natural way we think. In this teaching, Pastor Alan challenges everyone to embrace the process of God as He leads us to humble ourselves and be conformed to the image of Christ.
