Scroll down for our three-step process to help you engage God’s word and seek a deeper encounter with Him.
step one
This Weekly Bible Passage will be the basis of next Sunday’s sermon. Spend some time studying it prior to Sunday and see what God is revealing to you in it.
Philippians 4:15-23 CSB
And you Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. [16] For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times. [17] Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account. [18] But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided — a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. [19] And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. [20] Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. [21] Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings. [22] All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household. [23] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Step two
Join us on Sunday for this critical second step in encountering God through His word as we gather together as a church family.
Philippians pulses with the heartbeat of discipleship, offering some of the most profound truths in the Christian faith.
From Paul’s bold declaration to live as Christ, to his call to count all things as loss for the sake of knowing Him, this book invites us into a life of deep purpose and reliance on God’s strength.
As we explore Philippians together, we’ll draw inspiration from one of the New Testament’s healthiest churches, its passionate author, and, most importantly, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through its pages, we’ll uncover a powerful model for spiritual growth that challenges and equips us to mature in our faith.
step three
Questions to discuss and process as a Discipleship Group, based on the previous Weekly Bible Passage and Sunday Sermon.
Encourage one another towards a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Jesus.
Based on Philippians 4:13-14, and the talk given on March 30.
Was there anything in the passage or the talk that strongly impacted you?
How would you assess your own Biblical literacy and Scripture study habits right now? How can your discipleship group support you in this practice?
Is there a situation in your life that you have viewed as too difficult for Jesus? If it was in the past, how did you work through it and what did the Lord teach you through it? If it is current, how does this passage challenge your view?
What would it look like for you to make much of Jesus' strength and sufficiency in your day-to-day life?
