  • PP156 The Power of Thank You
    Apr 15 2024
    How's this for a novel idea: telling other Christians why you thank God for them. That's what Paul does to his friends in Philippi, and there's good reason to believe he wants us to do the same. In fact, this novel idea can change how we pray, and the way we encourage each other. It can also drive us to more Christlike behaviour, and to a richer, more God-centred, theology. In this episode we also talk about the inductive Bible study method (observation, interpretation, application), and how to apply verses that seem far removed from us.

  • PP154 When the Gospel Becomes Irrepressible
    Mar 25 2024
    Sharing our faith in Christ with unbelievers does not come easy for most of us. How can the gospel go from being something we can't get out to being something we can't keep in? The Apostle Paul shows us how we can grow in this area in the opening verses of his letter to the Philippians.

  • PP150 The Other Half of Freedom
    Feb 19 2024
    The way our culture prizes freedom gives us a huge opportunity to tell others of the freedom available in Jesus Christ. Unlike modern concepts of freedom, the freedom Jesus offers is not just freedom from, but freedom for. Only in the Lord Jesus can we enjoy both halves of freedom. As John Stott says in this week's reading, "I have found Jesus Christ to be the key to freedom."
