A Joy Unexpected Philippians 1:1 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Life doesn’t have to be easy to be joyful. In fact, ease of living and joy of heart have little to do with each other. Joy is not the absence of trouble but rather the presence of Jesus. Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi is a letter dripping with joy and surprisingly so—it’s not what anyone would expect given the circumstances surrounding the author and the recipients. As we dip our toes into the joyful waters of this epistle, it’s my prayer that your smile will grow bigger and your heart will become lighter. |

News Flash: You’re a Saint! Philippians 1:1-2 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary You've heard it before. Someone excuses his or her crude behavior by saying something like, "Well, I'm no saint, but I do the best I can." Or, "She's so wonderful; she's a saint!" The idea most folks have is that saints are those who've died and attain special status because of their unusual accomplishments while they lived on earth. Nothing could have been further from Paul's mind when he wrote this letter to living "saints." I hope you're one. |

The Family Business Philippians 1:3-8 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary No matter what you may do for a living, there is a higher purpose for your life. No matter what you do for work, God is at work in you and through you. You may have a career in mind, but God has a calling in mind. These are not contradictory paths but complementary ones. The apostle Paul assured his audience of God's work collectively, personally, and practically. We are the objects as well as the instruments of God's work in the world. |

Pray for Love Philippians 1:9-11 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Love is the subject of more songs than any other topic. It's a word that falls off countless lips effortlessly and often without thought. But as someone noted, "One of the great illusions of our time is that love is self-sustaining. It is not. Love must be fed and nurtured, constantly renewed." The great apostle Paul had a deep love for the Philippian believers, and they for him. But love must be understood and developed intelligently. On this Mother's Day, when we celebrate the unique love of a mom, let's also consider how our love can become mature and God-honoring. |

The Happy Prisoner Philippians 1:12-14 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary What does it take to steal your joy? To answer that question honestly, you would need to discover what you're passionate about--what drives you and what your expectations of life are. Why is this so important? Because things won't always go your way. Unfavorable winds will toss the ship of your life around on the ocean of circumstances and heartbreaks. What do you need then? The right perspective! Let's learn these truths from Paul's prison cell in Rome. |

Pest Control Philippians 1:15-18 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Every group—whether it’s a club, a corporation, a homeowner association, or a church—has its share of problem people and detractors. Such can be touchy, irritable, irrational, unreasonable, contentious, or legalistic. Their words may hurt us deeply. Their actions may confuse us greatly. So how do we handle these pesky folks? Most importantly, what should we do or not do with those who name the name of Christ but act like pests? |

Can You Predict Your Future? Philippians 1:18-21 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary If you were going to sit down and write a short description of what you wanted your future to look like, what words would you choose? Let me suggest four that come straight out of Paul's experience: joy, confidence, hope, and life. After musing over past events that brought him to prison, Paul looks ahead to his uncertain future. But these four words sum up what he expected his future to include--even if it meant his possible execution. |

Living on Earth; Longing for Heaven Philippians 1:22-26 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Knowing what Paul knew about heaven made him think very differently about earth. As Thomas Watson said, "Spiritual things satisfy; the more of heaven is in us, the less earth will content us." It's like a kid eating his vegetables while eyeing the chocolate cake promised after the meal (the salad becomes a means to an end). Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom come," indicating we should be longing for heaven. So how do we effectively live on earth with heaven ahead? |

How to Stand When They Want You to Fall Philippians 1:27-30 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The truth is, we’re surrounded and outnumbered! The vast majority of the people we encounter in life don’t share our values nor worship our God. The difficulty of the Christian life is that we’re called to stand up for Christ when the rest of the world wants us to sit down or fall flat. They would much rather that we keep our mouths shut and conform to their standards. Let’s consider four spiritual weapons that will help us in the fight to stand strong in our faith. |

Being Around People--While Still Being Sane! Philippians 2:1-4 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Relationships are hard. They take a lot of work. If you think about it, every person in the world is incompatible with every other person. Enough time together would reveal this truth. Because of this, tensions rise, emotions flare, and bad responses ensue. Every friendship, every marriage, every family, and every organization (including every church) has its relational challenges. The church at Philippi did, too, and it was that disunity that tested Paul’s joy. Let’s consider the basics and the basis of successful relationships, and move from surviving them to thriving in them. |

What Would Jesus Do? Philippians 2:5-8 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The campaign What Would Jesus Do? has been around for years, challenging Christians to think about what Christ might actually do in any given situation so they might do likewise. Before us, we have an example of what Jesus actually did do. His example of humility and self-sacrifice is Paul’s illustration to fortify his exhortation of loving people through lowering ourselves. |

Be Humble or You'll Stumble Philippians 2:8-11 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Humility is that slippery quality that once you think you have it, you don't! Also, the pathway of humility is a hard one. For Jesus, it meant the cross. But humility will always be rewarded. Using Christ as our ultimate example, Paul demonstrates how Jesus' voluntary humiliation was compensated by the Father’s lavish exaltation. So even though humility doesn't come without a price, without it, there will be no harmony, no unity. |

How to Have a Great Workout Philippians 2:12-13 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Every day in every city, people go to the gym to get in a workout. Running on a treadmill, spinning on a cycle, working the stair-climber, and lifting weights are becoming more and more frequent in our health-conscious culture. But money spent on a gym membership is pointless unless we take the right approach. In this message, I want to consider what it means to have a healthy spiritual life by showing you what it means to "work out your own salvation in fear and trembling." Let's be determined to stay in top spiritual shape. |

Glow in the Dark! Philippians 2:14-18 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary To make an object glow in the dark, a phosphor that will energize by ambient light and have a very long persistence (like zinc sulfide and strontium aluminate) must be applied. For a Christian to glow (shine the light of truth and salvation) in a dark culture, there are four considerations that will energize us. Today let’s study how we can penetrate a murky world. |

A Little Help from My Friends Philippians 2:19-24 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Life without friendship is like the sky without the sun. Paul knew the value of having true friends who stuck with him during difficult times. And right in the middle of this letter, he mentioned two of them—Timothy and Epaphroditus. These two guys helped shoulder the burdens for the apostle and brought him great joy. As we consider Timothy's friendship profile, see how many of these qualities are present in your own life. |

How to Treat Good (but Imperfect) People Philippians 2:25-30 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Some of the greatest people I have ever met have been relatively unknown individuals. They serve diligently behind the scenes with no desire for the limelight. Their names are not known to men, yet they are known to God. But even the choicest servants of God are not perfect. We all have our blemishes, shortfalls, quirks, idiosyncrasies, and oddities. Paul gave us an excellent way to treat such people in his words about his friend Epaphroditus. |

Has Your Joy Sprung a Leak? Philippians 3:1-3 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary I have a bicycle pump in my garage that stands constant guard to reinflate my tires. It seems that I have a slow leak in one of them. Perhaps from a very small thorn or a defect in the tube, the air slowly leaks out, leaving the ride spongy. Spiritual thorns that deflate joy can also threaten our Christian experience. Let’s consider some simple principles that firm up our life journey and keep "the joy of the Lord" intact. |

Get a Real Testimony! Philippians 3:4-8 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary I have heard various people give their testimony over the years. A testimony is the story of how you came to believe in Christ personally. What is your story? Could you tell it to someone? You should be able to trace the steps you took in your life’s journey from aimless wandering to purposeful living as a Christian. These verses are Paul’s personal testimony. Let’s consider three essential ingredients to building a real testimony. |

Benefits of Being Believers Philippians 3:8-11 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Being a Christian believer cost Paul a lot. He lost his status, he lost his prestige among former peers, and he landed in a foreign prison cell, facing possible execution. So what did he gain from his choice? What are the rewards and benefits of believing in Christ if the world hates you and most people misunderstand you? Today, we look at five of the benefits that offset any loss we might incur. These gains (or profits) make up for any momentary afflictions. |

Put On Your Running Shoes Philippians 3:12-16 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Though I prefer cycling to running, I appreciate the disciplined runner who has trained long hours and has conditioned his/her body to reach its maximum potential. One of Paul’s favorite metaphors for Christian living was the race. In this passage, he pictured the believer as an athlete competing in a footrace pushing towards the finish line. To become winning champions in this race towards Christlikeness, there are five essentials: |

Show Me Your Passport, Please! Philippians 3:17-21 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Anytime you travel overseas, a passport is required. Your passport is a document of citizenship, denoting your country of origin and permanent residence. Your name is written on that document along with your place and date of birth. Jesus said that our names are written in heaven (see Luke 10:20) because we have been born again. That makes us tourists and foreigners here on earth. In this section of Philippians, Paul gave us four distinguishing characteristics of heavenly citizens. |

The Anatomy of a Healthy Church Philippians 4:1-5 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary In the New Testament, the church is often called “the body of Christ.” Like a human body, it has many parts and functions. The church at Philippi was growing and with growth comes growing pains. In this section, Paul addressed some of them and applied the right prescription for what was threatening this group. Let’s consider five necessary components of a healthy church. |

Info Message Summary Our minds are ever being confronted with ideas, temptations, principles, and values. The battlefield is found in mainstream and social media, universities, and professional journals. Because it's impossible to make it through any given day without bumping into these thoughts and ideas, we must carefully, righteously, and actively manage them. To plant an idea is to produce an action. What we ponder we eventually practice. Consider these three ways to think. |

How to Have Greener Grass NOW Philippians 4:10-13 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. That saying embodies the philosophy that other people's circumstances are more desirable than our own. This attitude can be extended to where you live, the place you work, the one you're married to, the body type you have, and the income you require. Surely, others have it better than we do! Well, let's uncover three basic principles to debunk that theory and, in so doing, add water and fertilizer to our own grass. |

Info Message Summary It’s a strange title for a sermon, I know. Yet it seems many of us try to separate what we believe in our hearts from how we behave with our finances. In these closing verses of this letter to the Philippians, Paul thanks the church that supported his ministry for putting their money where their faith is. This paragraph is one of the clearest theological statements about how money can become a tool for God’s glory and a gauge of spiritual maturity. |

As His sons and daughters we have inherited a family business. Let's see what it is and how it works. |

Paul's deep love for the Philippian Christians prompted such a renewal of their love-by prayer. Paul prayed for what most never pray for-genuine love to be evident in his friends' lives. |

Stand Up And Be Counted Philippians 1:27-30 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Let's face it! We are a marked group of people. We are carefully watched, and even scrutinized, from the first moment that we declare our allegiance to Jesus Christ. Sometimes the scrutiny turns into flat out ridicule, or even worse. It's not easy to stand up when the rest of the world seems to want us to sit down in conformity with them. How can we successfully live our lives, before the unbelieving world, in such a way that they really count for something? Four qualities are needed. |

Marriage requires two people who will collaborate together to ensure that they adjust to each other and respect each other. Corporate business requires cooperation, as does a team sport. Likewise, Christianity does too. Following Christ is not a unilateral endeavor where We sit and watch. Nor is it something we singlehandedly work hard to attain. Once We're saved We must cooperate! |

Standing Out From The Darkness Philippians 2:14-16 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary It's not easy to be a Christian these days. It never has been. While our culture touts individualism and uniqueness, it doesn't tolerate the uniqueness of the Gospel message very well. The tendency then becomes to blend in with our surroundings. Spiritual entropy has been the penchant of God's people from the beginning. We must resist the pull to become like everyone else and, instead, celebrate our uniqueness as God's children; we must stand out brightly against the darkness of our society. |

What Makes A Mature Christian? Philippians 2:19-24 Skip Heitzig |

Timothy was a growing young believer who embodied maturity in spiritual things. Timothy is a good example for all of us to aim for. Such believers are valuable to the church and to individuals within it. As we go through Timothy's profile, see how your life matches up to some of these qualities. |

After using Timothy as an example of Christian maturity, his good friend Epaphroditus gets mentioned. This guy was a layperson; he had no official position. Because of that, his character seems more "reachable" perhaps than other examples of service and maturity. |

This earth is both temporary and preparatory. The best is yet to be! As citizens of heaven we are, in a sense, foreigners here on earth. But there are also foreigners who pretend to be citizens of God's Kingdom. |

Winning The War With Anxiety Philippians 4:6-7 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary In writing about our culture, John Haggai stated, "Worry is ravaging societies worldwide...in America at least, it has virtually become part of the national culture. You could write on countless American gravestones the Epitaph: "Hurried, Worried, Buried.'" What a sad way to live! These next two verses of scripture are among the most treasured by Christians worldwide, because of their power to overcome the tendency to be overwhelmed by anxiety. |

I Think; Therefore I Do Philippians 4:8-9 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary There is a battle being waged for our minds. The battlefields abound: In the universities, professional journals as well as the media and popular press, the war of ideas is being waged. Since it's impossible to go through the day without colliding with worldly ideas, we must take control of what we fix our thoughts on. Why? Because planting an idea can result in producing an action. What we ponder we eventually practice! |

The Secret Of A Tranquil Life Philippians 4:10-13 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Jesus told us that one of the reasons He came was so that we could enjoy a certain kind of life. "I have come," said Jesus, "that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). There was a sense of fullness in life that Paul seemed to experience wherever he was. It could best be described as tranquility - a combination of joy, peace, contentment and confidence. At the end of his letter, Paul reveals the elements of life that bring about such a state. |

Perspective For Your Pocketbook Philippians 4:14-21 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Welcome to one of the most refreshing sections of Scripture dealing with finances. Far from being a message of high-pressured hype, Paul approaches this closing theme with tact and forthrightness. Here, our money is elevated to the level of a practical tool to be used now and profited from later. One of the most practical gauges of spiritual maturity is financial responsibility in spiritual things. |
