Sermon: The Joy of Being a Disciple – Philippians 4:1-14

I preached again!

I was actually a little excited for this message, and I had a horrible night in terms of sleep. That usually tells me the service will be good, and I and the congregation seem to agree with this, yet again.

As usual, my PowerPoint is available below the video. May you be blessed in hearing on growing in joy as Christ’s disciple and fellow worker.

The Joy of Being a Disciple
Philippians 4:1-14

VerseD: Matthew 28:19

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

‭Matthew 28:19, ESV‬

Our God is faithful, as shown in coming to us to save us from our sin and His wrath. He now calls us and empowers us to faithfully go and share this good news and raise up other faithful followers.

VerseD: Romans 10:17

‭So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Romans 10:17, NASB1995‬

Christ came to be our example, yet He came preaching an all-encompassing, life-changing message to follow Him. We are now tasked with joining Him in sharing this message with the world.

VerseD: John 13:14

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:14, ESV

We are not greater than our Savior who came to serve others. Sacrificially.

VerseD: Philippians 4:9

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9, ESV

We should be growing more in Christ, to be more like Christ.
We should be showing others how to grow in Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20)
