The Surprising Path of Gospel Progress

Philippians 1:12-14 We are back in the Book of Philippians today. In the month of October, we went together through the first eleven verses in the Book of Philippians, which was enriching for me, if nothing else.  Hopefully, you got something out of it also.  But through the first eleven verses of this letter we saw this exemplary, amazing love and concern Paul has for the church at Philippi.  But in addition to that, there is also an understanding throughout…

The Prayer that Love for the Church Demands

Philippians 1:1-2 Today, we are going to begin what I think should be an important time in our church as we begin to take the time between the sections of Luke as Travis teaches through them, to look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians.  So, what’s going to happen is whenever Travis is up here, he’s going to be continuing through exposition of Luke to help us better understand the foundation and essential truths from the person and work of…
