| The Epistle Of Joy Chapter 2 – Part 5

We are continuing in the epistle of Philippians.  In this series “The Epistle Of Joy Part 2” – We see Churches are filled with people from different races, cultures, and backgrounds.  We are to be an example to the world of the power of the new birth, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit.  What the world cannot do, the supernatural power of God can.

A sad thing happens when the church starts to live like the world.  Paul heard from prison that factions were developing in the Philippian church.  Here He writes to remind them of the Holy Spirit who lives in them and the fruit which He produces.

Part 5 – In this message look at verses 14 and 15 in Philippians 2.  We see the importance of keeping complaining and disputing out of our lives, when we do this we maintain a life that is blameless and harmless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.  Living from the grace of Christ within daily assures our continued effective witness as Christians.
