Commitment To God Philippians 4:10-13







Topic: Renewing My Commitment To God Philippians 4:10-13


 Philippians 4:10-13
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Why do we need to renew our commitment to God? 




Hezekiah is a great example of Spiritual Renewal,
2 Chronicles 29
  • He unlocked the temple gates, v. 3
  • He called the people to consecrate, v.4-5
  • He confessed the sins of his family, v.8
  • He challenged the people, v.10
  • He calls the male for accountability, v. 11
  • How Can Commitment to God Help Me, Phil. 4:10-13

How many of the things that Hezekiah did will you be willing to do?

  1. It can change your _______________ of life, v.10

To change perspective you need

  • (1) to have the mind of God
  • (2) the word of God

    1. The pattern of __________________, v.12
What lifestyle do you need to change for 2020?
  1. It can change the ________________ of your life, v.13

Why Jesus Is Everything - Philippians 2:6-11

Introduction: Our lesson was two-fold.  Paul was concerned about the church serving each other and loving one another.  He uses Jesus as an example of humility.   This passage has been a long-time gem of theology in understanding who Jesus was and is and is to come.   This passage is both practical and theological.  The Theology behind the passage: Jesus is God Jesus took out the robe of godhood (God's glory) and became man He emptied himself beyond by being a servant Death on the cross was the ultimate end of his downward emptying of self But Jesus is exalted back to his original glorious state where every knee will bow and confess Him as Lord The Practical Lessons The emptying of Jesus is a stark reminder that we ought to live a life empty of self Humility means submission,1 Peter. 5:5-6 Humility does not mean that we are silent or passive people, 1 Peter. 3:3-4 and Rom. 12a;1 Humility means we use our talents an...

05-26-19 Zone of Fight

Image
Small group leaders:  1.   There are many places in this sermon to unpack God's principles on how to win God's fight.   2.   Whatever you focus on - don't forget the goal of the topic:   "We fight together; We fail together."   Small Group Reminders:   ======== Small Group Slides ======== Sermon Slides  Sermon Manuscript The Fight in Ministry Ministry is a fight.   It is a do or die.  In a any game, in any fight, you relax and you get hit, or you get outscored.  In Christianity, if you are not committed the way Jesus wants you to… you fall into sin a lot quicker.  No spiritual conviction.  Just whatever.   No direction, no passion.    Because that is how in the natural realm.    Matt 10:39, “ Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”...

Philippians 1:1-11 What Can I Pray For You?

Last Sunday, we looked at several items on Paul's opening letter to the church in Philippi. His opening remarks are: 1:1-2 He greets the church as a "saint" He greets the leaders who are elders and deacon He greets them with grace and peace This grace and peace comes from God the Father and the Lord Jesus        Are there any of these points above that you have question or thoughts about?  (Remember, as a small group facilitator - you do not have to know all the answer.  You can study later and return with an answer.  It's ok to say, "that's a good question, and lets give you an answer next week as we study this more.") There are three prayer requests that Paul prays for the church:   1.  1:3-6.  Pray for gospel -partnership, because of your partnership in the gospel (v.5)      Why is the gospel the center of everything a Christian does?  2.  1:7-8, Pray for cooperation, d...
