We live in a broken world because of sin. But God has plan to restore it called "The Gospel". Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ we can have no matter what we are struggling with because someday He will make all things new!

When we depart from God's ways it leads to brokenness in our lives. We try many ways to get out of brokenness which will lead to more and more brokenness of our lives and those around us. Today we will learn how to turn back to God's perfect design for our lives from Psalm 51 that shows a heart of true repentance leading to healing.

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.

This message explores how the Israelites' worship of the golden calf reveals that idolatry is ultimately a heart issue, not merely an external action. It challenges believers to examine what truly holds first place in their lives, reminding us that worship is about loving and surrendering our whole lives to God rather than simply participating in religious activities.
