In this study, we discuss this verse that characterizes the God’s values of love & compassion, and how we are to model this in our own lives.
In today’s study, we see how despite his imprisonment, Paul is determined & focused with an eternal view, and he encourages us to conduct ourselves in ways that are honorable to the Gospel.
Paul tells the church at Philippi that his imprisonment is not hindering the gospel in any way. He also speaks of those who preach with impure intentions: God blesses the message, but not the motives.
Discussion of Paul’s powerful prayer for the Philippians, and how it reflects God’s desire for each of us today: that as we love God, we gain knowledge & discernment, so that we may be pure & blameless, and righteous.
Dr. Eckman leads in-depth discussion of Philippians 1:6 – “?He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus”, and discusses Paul’s teachings of how God ultimately wants us to see people as He sees them.
Join us as we begin a new study of the book of Philippians. We begin with a historical overview of Paul’s writings, and break down the significance of how Paul greets the people of Philippi in this letter.
Solomon encourages us to live responsible lives in our youth, to set the stage for later years. He then concludes with his guidance for living life: trust God, walk with him in Faith, and obey Him, because everything we do is important.
As we near the end of our study of Ecclesiastes, Solomon explains what a life of Faith, Trust, and Obedience to God should look like.
Solomon shares his message of God’s providence as it relates to human joy: man cannot begin to comprehend God & his infinite power & wisdom, so we are to walk in faith, while trusting & obeying Him, and enjoy all the days of our lives.
Solomon discusses the relationship between God’s sovereignty & human character, and begins sharing perspective on a wise person’s relationship with government.
