Pressing Toward The Goal

Pathway To Peace

Who are the "enemies of the cross of Christ?" They're not who we might think! The enemies Paul warns of in Philippians 3 are not people openly hostile to the Lord, but those who pretend to be His followers. Those are always the worst, aren't they; the ones who betray Jesus with a kiss? And there are a lot of them. Their message will sound very attractive if we don't know what pattern of life we're to follow. That's our topic of study today. Here's Pastor Jim with the opening portion of his sermon, Pathway to Peace.

Freedom Through Co-dependency

God designed us to have needs. But why? As the computer programmers say, "That's not a flaw; that's a feature." But what possible purpose could it serve to build an entire planet where everyone is needy...all the time? Jim has found four reasons, and he'll share them today and tomorrow, as we finish our survey of Paul's letter to the Philippians. Even the title of the sermon challenges us to think differently about this. It's Freedom Through Co-Dependency. Here's Pastor Jim to explain.

The Gumption Of The Gospel

What does the gospel do in our lives? And can it be undone? If you've responded to Jesus' call to "repent and believe the gospel," then several miraculous things have happened to you. You should be delighted to hear what Jim has to say in our inaugural message from the letter to the Colossians. But can salvation and its benefits be lost, or thrown away? Jim will weigh in on the controversy as he talks about The Gumption of the Gospel.

Motivated By A Mystery

Jesus doesn't need our help. We want to help - we want to fast, or do penance, or observe some rituals, something! - to have a hand in our own salvation. And that comes from pride. The devil knows all about pride, and he's got human minions who'll show us all kinds of ways we can give Christ a hand. Paul wanted to keep the Colossians out of the "Jesus And" trap. Here's Jim with the sermon, Motivated by a Mystery.

The Not-So-Tender Trap

You are out of this world - and that's the gospel truth! In Colossians, Paul is unmasking the "Jesus Plus" teachers. His strategy is as devastating as it is simple: He argues that a dead person has ended his relationship to the physical world - and we have died with Christ. So all the religious regulations involving material things like food and circumcision, can no longer apply. The false teachers are, essentially, trying to put a corpse on a diet! Jim's message is called, The Not-So-Tender Trap.
