And My God Will Meet All Your Needs [Ph. 4:19] - Dr. David Anderson

Series: Fascinating Phrases from Philippians

 

Have you heard the saying: “You can’t beat God’s giving no matter how hard you try”? When we give in faith it expresses Christ at the core of our lives more than many other actions that Christians take. Trusting that God will supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory is a matter of dependence. When we give to the Lord and others we are demonstrating trust in and His provision. When we hang onto our resources too tightly, we are at risk of trying to control our own destinies. This sermon will encourage us to depend on God to supply everything we need for life.

Joy is one of the major themes of the book of Philippians. Paul, the writer, expressed joy regardless of circumstances.

This message will point us in that direction.

The core message of Easter is that Jesus Christ emptied himself and became a man so that He could live a sympathetic life with humanity, in order to identify with sinful man, pay the penalty on the cross for man’s sins, and rise again from the dead to new life. Jesus’ obedience and humility is what grants us access to God the Father. Dr. Anderson will teach how we can respond to Jesus’s humility and obedience by receiving Him by faith.

We will talk about wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ and how to keep him at the center of all we do as we live for Him and not for ourselves.
