Jul 06, 2025 Beginning and Continuing with Christ – Philippians 1:3-11 – July 6, 2025
Ben Chally preaches from Philippians 1:3-11. Paul’s introductory prayer for the church in Philippi highlights three marks of a church that has begun and remained in Christ: assurance that God completes the work He begins, affection rooted in Christ-centered fellowship, and ongoing growth in godliness through love shaped by truth and discernment. This passage serves as a call to examine our hearts in light of God’s promises, to turn from anything that hinders fellowship with Christ and His church, and to continue steadfastly in Him, trusting His promises, treasuring His people, and seeking His glory.
Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
