Audio Messages & Sermon Series - Crosswinds, Plainfield, IL

Why are you here? To give God glory and enjoy His presence forever! We are to enter God’s presence through our praises and this should make our hearts glad. God does not need our religious sacrifices but delights in our sacrifice of praise. Be all that you were made to be and live a life of thanksgiving and thanks-living.

Some see gratitude as an attitude, but it is much deeper than that. True gratitude comes as the creature responds in love and faith to his creator who has given him life, provision, and salvation. When we realize God has saved us from wrath, through His love and mercy, by the sacrifice of His son Jesus, our hearts sing in unending praise. His love endures forever!

Are you full? Contentment is something that is often very absent in our modern lives and yet is the key to lasting joy. You can know true contentment and peace today in the person of Jesus Christ. This message in Philippians 4:11-13 the Apostle share what he has learned about the secret of contentment.

Paul introduces Timothy and Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:19-30 as examples of ordinary people whose lives were shaped by the grace of Jesus into lives of genuine concern, faithful service, humility, and sacrifice. Rather than asking, "What can I get?" they lived by asking, "How can I serve Christ by serving others?" The message challenges us to allow God's grace to reshape our time, relationships, resources, gifts, and priorities so that our lives increasingly reflect Jesus.

Philippians 2:12–18 challenges believers to live out the salvation God has already given them—not to earn salvation, but as a response to God’s work within them. Paul teaches that because God is actively working in us, our lives should be marked by humble obedience, gratitude rather than grumbling, and a willingness to serve others even when nobody is watching.

In Philippians 2:1–11, Paul challenges believers to allow Christ to transform not only what they do, but how they think, especially in a culture that encourages self-promotion, comparison, status, and personal achievement.

This message is part of our series called: Inner Life, a journey through the book of Philippians. This sermon is based on Philippians 1:12-18. Pastor Ken Schultz teaches that like Paul, whose imprisonment advanced the gospel among Caesar's elite guards, our hardest circumstances become our greatest witness when Christ lives within us.

Based on Philippians 1:1-11 Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned, yet his life overflowed with joy because his confidence rested in Christ rather than his circumstances. This message reminds us that true victory begins in our inner life, where our identity is found in being servants of Jesus, partners in the gospel, and recipients of God's unfailing grace.
