Philippians

This past Sunday we talked about “status”. It has the possibility to consume us whether we are just beginning up the ladder of success or during these difficult days, we are simply trying not to fall off the ladder that we have worked so hard to climb. Either way it seems to affect focus on self rather than others. This is probably the reason that there are so many discouraging things that happen in our families or even in church. We are so busy with the wrong focus. I desire to be a person who considers others first, and I am thankful for what we are learning through Philippians. Such as the key verse in 1:27, “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ”, there are a whole lot of “whatever happens”, it seems today, and we can learn together what God has in store for our lives. No matter where you have been or what has happened in the past, God has a plan for your life. Let’s learn together how to focus on something bigger than ourselves or our circumstances.
