Audio Messages & Sermon Series - Crosswinds, Plainfield, IL

In today’s message we talk about God’s assurance which is His unshakeable love for us. We often struggle with life because our eyes are on ourselves and our own opinions. Assurance comes in our understanding of the very nature of God.

This message is part of our series titled: Assurance not Insurance where we study Romans Chapter 8. We are assured of God's love for us but there is also a call that we need to accept. Accepting God's call leads to justification and glorification.

This message is part of our Series titled: Assurance not Insurance, a study in Romans Chapter 8. We can be assured in life when we don't have our facts straight, when we can't prove our worth, when we don't have the right words to say, God still hears us and He still assures us of His love for us.

This is part of our series titled: "Assurance not Insurance" where we study Romans Chapter 8. Suffering is a reality, but we also have the assurance that suffering will end for those who believe.

This is our first message in a new series titled Assurance not Insurance, a series through Romans 8.

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.

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.

This is part of our series titled: Inner Life, a journey through the book of Philippians. This message is based on Philippians 1:26-30
