Devotions from Willows Methodist Church

[Author: Graeme Mercer] Philippians is just filled with well-known verses like, “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (1:6), “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain” (1:21), and “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (4:13) and so many more. Paul provides a portrait of Jesus Christ as a humble servant and this is really at the heart of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Having established this church around 52 AD, Paul has genuine joy for their progress in Christ and it is this same joy he wanted the recipients to possess. Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. So Paul addresses this community of believers and urges them to live in harmony with one another through mutual humility as demonstrated by Jesus. He describes how we can be truly contented in Christ. His letter describes, how, with Christ at the center, we can truly live with joy.

[Author: Andre van der Bergh] Faith alone will not get us there. We are faithful because of God's saving grace.
