Ascension of Jesus

Sermon Text Expounded Paul tells us in Philippians 4:1-2, "Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown that is how you should stand firm in the Lord dear friends! I plead with Euodia, and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord." In modern-day terms, "You know better. Do not allow your anger to get the best of you." Maintain Righteousness in a Chaotic Situation. Paul loved these two women. He addressed the Philippians as brothers and sisters because…

to turn in a few hostages. Instead he lets the men turn themselves in to risk of their lives. Rodrigues resembles himself to Christ a few times throughout the novel, but what he neglects to remember from the very beginning of his journey, is that Jesus died on the Cross so that everyone else can live.

According to Packer (1993), “The theologians called these qualities incommunicable because they are characteristic of…

love. According to Scripture, Jesus laid down His life for others, but knowing the sinful nature of man, Jesus could have very well hardened His heart towards others and saved His own life. Love is a huge part of marriage, but so is laying down one’s own life and interests for the benefit of one’s partner. Marriage fails because of hardness of heart and the unwillingness for one partner to lay down one’s own life and interests for the sake of the others. Jesus taught that in order to be…

However, we (converted ones) are no longer enemies of God, because Jesus died on the cross for our sin and provided reconciliation. Hence, we are friends of God, not the…
