    • 11:57Philippians 1:6

      Philippians 1.6, he says, he who has begun a good work in you is faithful to carry it to completion. God's not going to leave you halfway. Yet genuine faith must bear the evidence of God's transforming grace. That's why we say here…

    The Whole Story

    • 33:56Philippians 1

      And then the good news is this, that ultimately, Paul says this in Philippians chapter 1, that for the life found in Christ, that to live is Jesus and to die is gain. That one day we pass from this life to the next and we step into eternity and we get to see the hero of our earthly life and spend eternity…

    • 12:32Philippians 1:23

      In Philippians 1.23, Paul says, to depart and be with Christ is far better. To the thief on the cross, today you will be with me. For Paul, to depart and be with Christ. Are you hearing a theme in scripture? He again says in 2 Corinthians 5.8, and he told us that away from the body is to be at home with the Lord.

    • 21:53Philippians 1:23

      This is the love that echoes through the halls of God's bosom for you. Not only that, we have this refrain in Scripture, Philippians 1.23, if you want to turn there. What happens when I die? We go to Abraham's bosom. We go to the side of God. We're welcomed into his family. We go to paradise. Philippians 1.23 describes today's heaven like this. Paul says, to me, to live is Christ, to die is gain.

    • 18:31Philippians 1

      Paul, I do know who wrote Romans. In Romans 8, verse 1 says, therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Some of us are still thinking, okay, I know what Jesus said. I know what Romans said. But can you just give me one more hope-filled verse? I can. Philippians 1, 6. Paul writes this beautiful confidence to the Philippian church.

    Matthew

    • 19:56Philippians 1

      That's why we together are trying to memorize the word. That's why we are trying to put Philippians 1, 6 in our hearts and our mouths. Because when we hunger and thirst, we will be filled. Where God says to us, I am confident of this, that he who began a good work is faithful to carry it. When? How far? To completion. Listen, we're not complete yet. But the joy is one day I will be.

  • Matthew

    • 36:01Philippians 1:6

      Jesus quotes Deuteronomy. And I bet Satan was like, really? Deuteronomy? Not John 3.16? Not Philippians 1.6? Deuteronomy. And Jesus says, yes, even Deuteronomy will hold Satan at bay. The sword of God is our weapon against Satan. Do not leave the sword of God on the shelf. Why is it so important that we know that he who began a good work is faithful to carry you to completion into the day of Christ Jesus?

    • 19:29Philippians 1:21

      If this is the best that life has to offer, man, that's a tough thing to sign up for. But we rejoice in the fact that knowing one day, we will pass from this life to the next, as Paul says in Philippians 1.21, for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Why is death gain? Because, y'all, the moment that we die, we pass from this life to the next. And for those of us in Christ, we see the one person that we've lived our…

This resurrection is the confidence as Philippians 1 says that not only for Jesus but that he who began a good work in you will carry it forward to the day of completion. and I don't know about you but I'm not completed yet and there is hope in that fact that Jesus will carry me to the point

  • The JESUS Story: He Loved You To The End

    The JESUS Story

    • 16:54Philippians 1

      There is nothing that you can do today to make God love you more. There is nothing that you can do today to make God love you less. He demonstrated fully his love to the end when Jesus died on the cross. But there is another part of Jesus' love for you. His depth of love. It is not only his saving grace, but it is his sustaining grace. Philippians 1 says it this way. In another way, in southern talk, this is a paraphrase.

    • 32:32Philippians 1:6

      That's the power of Christ. And listen to the words of Philippians 1.6. Some of you are thinking, well, how in the world do I live this out? Philippians says, Paul, by the way, a murderer, a persecutor of the church. If you wonder who's writing this, this is not, this is not St. Paul. This is also murderous Paul. He says, I am sure of this, that he who started a good work,
