Being persecuted for sharing Christ is a good thing! Let’s Remain Focused (1:20-26); Let’s Remain Unified (1:27); Let’s Remain Courageous (1:28-30). 

God directs footsteps of Christ followers along the path of His will. Trust In God (5a); Truth of God (5b); Tune into God (6); Test God.

Sharing Christ with others is what we want to be about. Sharing Christ Is Often Painful; Sharing Christ Is Our Priority; Sharing Christ Is Our Perfection.

We want to draw health and strength from each other. Partnership in Christ’s GOSPEL; Partnership in Christ’s GRACE; Partnership in Christ’s GROWTH.

Sermon by guest preacher Dr. David Smith, Director of Missions for Austin Baptist Association.

We want our relationship to Christ to be like the followers from Philippi. Slaves to Christ; Saints in Christ; Salutations from Christ.

Today our nation embraces some perverse doctrines. A “relative god” is Better than THE REAL GOD; A “sometimes god” is Better than THE SOVEREIGN GOD; A “little bit” of God is Better than “ALL OF GOD”.
