Philippians: Better Together

It’s a basic assumption of the Bible that we do everything for God so much better when we do it together.  However in a highly individualistic culture it’s easy to miss this, and to think only in terms of our own personal walk with God.  The letter to the Philippians helps us to see this communal benefit for Christians in all sorts of ways - from sharing the gospel to rejoicing in hardships.

Better Together

Speaker: Al Pickering

As we come to the end of our 'Better Together' series from Philippians, what are the key messages to take away? Why does God say we are better together?

How to Banish Anxiety

Speaker: Jack Griffiths

Date:

Worry and anxiety are so common these days and can ruin our lives. Paul tells us about a powerful solution to anxiety.

Running for the Prize

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

If you’re sporty you probably love the athletic metaphors in the Bible, if you’re not you may feel more discouraged than inspired by them. Yet in one simple analogy this passage challenges our whole view of the Christian faith and our turns the spotlight on our deepest motivations for how we live it.

Staying Safe

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Many of are wary of dangers and try to keep ourselves and others safe. Paul warns us here of a subtle danger that can be so harmful to our relationship with God or even coming to know him in the first place.

Useful People

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

What kind of people does God love to use extend his kingdom? Do I have to be incredibly gifted, dynamic and talented to be useful to him? Through the examples of two of Paul’s companions we discover what God is actually looking for.

Christian Growth

Speaker: Steve Brading

Date:

How can we grow and make progress towards being the people God wants us to be. Work hard, or relax and let God do it all? How does the Bible say we are to work together with God towards growth?

The Way Up is Down

Speaker: Jeff Fletcher

Date:

At the high point of Paul's letter we find a magnificent song of Christ as the ultimate revelation. As we see the mind of the Servant King we learn the key to our unity and discover that the way up is down!

Shaped by Desire

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

What we ultimately want most shapes our whole life. However sometimes what we think we want or think we should want is not what we actually want the most. Does this matter and if so how do we handle it?

Gospel Perspective

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Working together in partnership to share the good news of Jesus sounds great, but we're not always together and sometimes there are big obstacles. It was just like this for Paul and Christians in Philippi. He encourages them to help one another see things from God's perspective and he encourages us to do the same.

Better Together

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Following Jesus is never easy so it makes sense to take advantage of all the help available. And it turns out that not only is serving God easier alongside others, we often find that we do better as well.
