SERMON NOTES:
We are always beginning…….again!
How well do we do “Beginnings”?
Some help from Pastor Paul in Philippians!
Philippians 1:12-26
BEGINNING “in Christ” means more JOY and HOPE with less Fear and Anxiety!
Philippians 3:7-14 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ9 and be found in him…
With my “In Christ” perspective I get to:
- admit the reality of the past
- but totally trust Jesus in the present for the future! That’s how I BEGIN!
What do I believe about Jesus?
o His Redemption, Restoration, Resurrection
o His presence with me and purpose for me!
