Send us Fan Mail Philippians 2:12-18 calls believers to work out their salvation together with fear and trembling, remembering that God is already at work in them. Rooted in Christ’s obedient example, the church shines as lights in a crooked generation by rejecting grumbling, holding fast to the word of life, and rejoicing with its spiritual leaders as God continues the shared work of sanctification.

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 2:9-11 reveals the Father’s exaltation of Jesus, giving him the name above every name so that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This message calls us to live a Christ-exalting life by confessing Jesus as Lord, willingly bowing to his authority, and doing everything for the glory of God the Father, finding freedom in surrender before the day all creation acknowledges Christ’s Kingship.

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 2:3-8 calls believers to reject selfish ambition and empty glory, count others as more significant than themselves, and look to the interests of others. Jesus is both Savior and supreme example of humility: though truly God, he took on flesh, became a servant, and obeyed to the point of death on a cross. By confessing pride, humbling ourselves before the Lord, and walking daily with Christ, the church can protect its unity, pursue the good of others, and find lasting joy in Jesus.

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 2:2-3 calls believers to pursue gospel unity by being of one mind, sharing Christ's sacrificial love, and living in full accord as people united to Christ and one another. Because the church has already received unity through the cross, Christians must fight to maintain it, forgive graciously, and strive side by side for the gospel so the world sees Christ through their shared mission and love.

Send us Fan Mail 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Send us Fan Mail 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Send us Fan Mail I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Send us Fan Mail 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 2:1-2 calls believers to complete their joy through unity in Christ, drawing encouragement from Christ, comfort from his love, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and the tenderness and compassion of the Lord. Because these blessings unite the church, Christians can endure opposition, love one another, and stand together as brothers and sisters who reflect the gospel and rejoice in the Lord.

Send us Fan Mail So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Send us Fan Mail 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

Send us Fan Mail 27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

Send us Fan Mail 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) 21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.

Send us Fan Mail 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 1:27-30 calls believers to live lives worthy of the gospel by standing firm in unity, striving together for the faith, speaking Christ boldly, recognizing opposition as a sign of God’s saving work, and suffering faithfully with Christ. Because our citizenship and identity are found in Jesus, the church can face resistance with confidence, magnify Christ, and share the gospel together.
