In Philippians 3:1-11, Paul warns the Philippian church about false teachers adding requirements to the gospel and tells them that even his righteous deeds and strict obedience to Jewish law were worthless compared to Christ’s sacrifice. True followers worship by the Spirit, glory in Christ, and put no confidence in the flesh. We must also be careful not to assign extra requirements for being a follower of Christ.

Friday Feb 05, 2021

Friday Dec 04, 2020

The focus for the first Sunday in Advent is Hope. The hope that the Israelites had came from the promise of the coming Messiah, prefaced by the return of the Prophet Elijah. As revealed in Matthew 3:1-12, Elijah came as John the Baptist, who was given the task of preparing the people for His coming. Christ is coming again, so if we are to be prepared, we must produce the Fruit of the Spirit in our choices.
