The document outlines seven golden promises for joy from the book of Philippians: 1) Completion of the good work God began, 2) Clarity and guidance, 3) Physical transformation, 4) Peace of God, 5) God of peace, 6) Strength to accomplish all things, 7) Provision of all needs. It then provides biblical support and explanation for each of these promises. The document encourages believers to claim these promises and rely on God's strength as they pursue holiness.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5. Biblical Christianity:
if false, is of no importance,
and if true, of infinite
importance. The only thing
it cannot be is
moderately important.
C. S Lewis
6. I Love the Word of God!
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and
minds; tie them as symbols on your hands
and bind them on your foreheads. Teach
them to your children, talking about them
when you sit at home and when you walk
along the road, when you lie down and
when you get up. – Deutr11:18,19
7. 1. The Promise of Completion
• I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for
all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the
gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he
who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until
the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3-6
• Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only
in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to
work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who
works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
2:12,13
8. 1. The Promise of Completion (Cont’d..)
• Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation
has come: The old has gone, the new is here! – 2
Cor 5:17
• And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the
Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image
with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the
Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18
• Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what
we will be has not yet been made known. But we
know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is. All who have this
hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. – 1
John 3:2,3
9. 2. Promise of Clarity/Guidance
• All of us, then, who are mature should take
such a view of things. And if on some point you
think differently, that too God will make clear to
you – Phil 3:15
• Although the Lord gives you the bread of
adversity and the water of affliction, your
teachers will be hidden no more; with your own
eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the
right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice
behind you, saying, ―This is the way; walk in it.‖
– Isaiah 30:20,21
10. 3. Promise of Physical Transformation
• But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await
a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the
power that enables him to bring everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will
be like his glorious body. Phil 3:20,21
• Romans 7:15 -25 I do not understand what I do. For
what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And
if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is
good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is
sin living in me. I know that good itself does not dwell
in me, that is, in my sinful nature.
11. 3. Promise of Physical Transformation
For I have the desire to do what is good, but I
cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I
want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I
keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to
do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in
me that does it. So I find this law at work:
Although I want to do good, evil is right there with
me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
but I see another law at work in me, waging war
against the law of my mind and making me a
prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
12. 3. Promise of Physical Transformation
What a wretched man I
am! Who will rescue me
from this body of death?
Thanks be to God, who
delivers me through
Jesus Christ our Lord!
13. 3. Promise of Physical Transformation
Because we know that the one who raised
the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise
us with Jesus and present us with you in his
presence. … Therefore we do not lose
heart. Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4 : 14-16
14. 4. Promise of the Peace of God
• Do not be anxious about anything, but in
every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests
to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus. -Phil 4:6,7
• You will keep in perfect peace those
whose minds are steadfast, because they
trust in you. Isaiah – 26:3
15. 5. Promise of the God of Peace
• Whatever you have learned or received or heard
from me, or seen in me— put it into practice. And
the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:9
• All authority in heaven and on earth has been given
to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of
the age – Mat 28: 18b, 20
• Pray and the Peace of God will be with you, practice
and the God of Peace will be with you!
16. Prayer and Practice
Pray and the Peace
of God will be with
you, practice and the
God of Peace will be
with you!
17. 6. Strength to accomplish all things
• I can do all this through him who gives me
strength – Philippians 4:13
• I am the vine; you are the branches. If you
remain in me and I in you, you will bear much
fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ..You
did not choose me, but I chose you and
appointed you so that you might go and bear
fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever
you ask in my name the Father will give you –
John 15: 6.16

22. Now what?
Therefore, since we have these
promises, dear friends, let us
purify ourselves from
everything that contaminates
body and spirit, perfecting
holiness out of reverence for
God. – 2 Cor 7:1
23. Now what?
His divine power has given us everything
we need for a godly life through our
knowledge of him who called us by his
own glory and goodness. Through these
he has given us his very great and
precious promises, so that through them
you may participate in the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires – 2 Pet 1: 3,4
24. Discussion Questions

like the best. Why?
2. Which promise do you need to specially
claim in your situation? Share.
3. Pray for each other, claiming one specific
promise pertinent in their life.
