Upside Down Living: Blessed are those who mournStephen Palm
This is the second sermon in the Upside-Down Living series in which we look at Jesus' second beatitude, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. We will explore the ways in which God comforts us, both during times of profound loss and times of conviction over personal and shared sin. We will also look at the way that God uses our fellow believers to comfort us in these same areas. The key challenge is to make ourselves available to God so that we can become a source of comfort to others.

Christ Loves His Bride - Ephesians 5:21-33David Turner
The bride of God in the old testament was the nation of Israel. In the New Testament, Christ's bride is The Church. His has gone to prepare for the reception of bride and will someday comeback to consummate the marriage. Christ love for his church is the model set more a man's love for his wife. Paul shares insights of the comparisons of Christ love for his bride to encourage men to love their wives in the same manner.
Before Christ came into our lives, we were children of darkness. But even as God is light, and Christ is the light of the world, so also are we are children of light. As such, we ought to walk in the light and behave in a manner consistent with our calling. Wake up oh Christian and let your light shine.

Finding joy in suffering lance brown october 7 2018Pacific Church
It is said that God never wastes our pain. I believe this is true. However, that is not a promise of pain-free living. Paul understood that God’s eternal purposes were more important that his temporary pain. Christ endured unimaginable pain for us. Our goal, then, should be to walk in a manner worthy of the calling that we’ve received. God loves us…even and especially when we are hurting.
Philippians 1:12-14 Magnifying Christ. John said Jesus must increase and he must decrease. Christians should be magnifying Christ and diminishing themselves. We do this by defending the gospel, preaching Christ, trusting Christ, living without shame, living for Christ, producing fruit, desiring to be with Him, Putting others needs first, fellowshipping fellow christians, working together with other christians.
The Christian is in a win-win situation. We live a win-win life! If we live then Christ is living in us and God is glorified. If we die, we gain eternal life with Christ and all the redeemed. So, whether we live or die we win!
Choosing the Life of Joy_Joy in Fruitful LaborStephen Palm
Choosing the Life of Joy calls for a unique perspective on life. In Philippians 1:18-30 we see that Paul viewed life, death and suffering through a unique lens, the lens of the gospel. He found purpose in life. He saw death as something to anticipate, not fear. And Paul saw suffering as one of God's graces, not an indication of God's disdain or disinterest. In things that could easily rob us of our joy, Paul found the very foundation for joyful living.
We are forgiven by God through Christ, therefore we ought to forgive others even as God has forgiven us. This is the heart of the Gospel. Growth in the spiritual life is often hindered because we often refuse to forgive others.
John 1:1 claims that all life is in Christ. He is the creator of life and he sustains all life. He is the author of physical life and spiritual life. Without him there is no life.
We call it the triumphal entry. Compared with the entry of other kings and generals it was modest. Compared to his future entry into Jerusalem all the kings entries of the past seem insignificant.

The Christ Centered Life (Part 8): StewardshipDavid Turner

The Christ Centered Life (Part 7): The ChurchDavid Turner
The Church is an essential part of living the Christ Centered Life. It is the body of Christ living together for Christ helping one another to live each one's life for Christ. We can't do it alone. If Christ loved his church and gave his life for it, shouldn't we as followers love what Christ loved?
The Christ Centered Life (Part 6): Unity Through HumilityDavid Turner
The Christ Centered Life is a selfless life. It places other above self and is willing to sacrifice selfish wants for the welfare of those around them. It is a life of humility rather than selfish pride and ambition. Philippians 2:1-11

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.

2. Review
Philippians: Had Paul’s imprisonment put a
roadblock on the Gospel?
Paul: to the contrary,
“I want you to know, brothers, that what has
happened to me has really served to advance
the gospel”. Philippians 1:12
3.
4. Because he was in prison…
13 so that it has become known throughout the
whole imperial guard and to all the rest that
my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of
the brothers, having become confident in the
Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold
to speak the word without fear. Philippians
1:13–14
5.
6. Motivation for preaching?
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and
rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter
do it out of love, knowing that I am put here
for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former
proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely but
thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
Philippians 1:15–17
7.
8. Motive is secondary to the fact
All Paul Cares about is that Christ was being
preached.
“What then? Only that in every way, whether in
pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and
in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,”
Philippians 1:18
11. Philippians 1:18–24 (ESV)
18 …., and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
19 for I know that through your prayers and the
help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out
for my deliverance, 20 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.
12. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful
labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot
tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My
desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is
far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more
necessary on your account.
13. I will rejoice…
18 …., and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, 19
for I know that through your prayers and the help of
the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my
deliverance,
Why will he rejoice?
He will either be delivered from prison, or delivered
from his body by death.
He gives their prayers and the power of the Spirit of
Christ is credit for his deliverance future
deliverance.
14. A soldier’s courage
20 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
“eager expectation” - straining one’s neck to catch a
glimpse of something that is ahead
He doesn’t want to be ashamed now or ever about
his conduct.
Paul desire is to honor Christ (not Paul), in life or in
death.
15.
16. Paul’s Dilemma.
• Have you ever been caught in a dilemma?
• Maybe you have to make a decision between
two equal jobs.
• Or, you have to make decision between two
ethical decisions, neither is wrong, but which
is best?
• What is Paul’s dilemma.
17. 21 For to me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain.
18.
19. For Paul, being with Christ is better.
22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful
labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot
tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My
desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that
is far better.
• Fruitful labor is good!
• But, being with Christ is better!
20.
21. 24 But to remain in the flesh
is more necessary on your
account.
22.
23. • When given a choice to die and be
with Christ, or live to help others:
–Paul would prefer to be with Christ
–But, he unselfishly chooses to minister
to others in order to help them grow in
their relationship with Christ.
24. When going through tough times
• Ask,
– What is the best and worst that can happen?
– Is the worst that can happen is being with Christ?
• For Paul, what others perceived as bad, he
viewed as good
• Prison was good
• Release from prison was good
• Even death was good
25. • Learn from Paul.
–Joy is not in our circumstances, it’s in our
perspective.
–Look for opportunities to honor Christ in
whatever the circumstances.
–If Christ is being honored REJOICE
regardless of the circumstances.
To Live Is Christ!! Rejoice!!!
