Philippians - Rejoice for the God of Peace is Near - PDF

Center Point Assembly

Sunday, May 26, 2024 – The message's title is “Rejoice for the God of Peace is Near.” We are nearing the close of our study of the book of Philippians, specifically chapter 4. The letter written by Paul focuses on the theme of “JOY” despite his own challenging circumstances while under house arrest in Rome, awaiting trial. Paul sets an example of finding peace and joy in the midst of trouble. In this chapter, he addresses the members of the church as “brothers and sisters,” emphasizing the idea of a loving family unit in God's eyes. Paul also acknowledges that disagreements will arise even in a functional family, and it's important to address them constructively to prevent them from causing division. There is much for us to learn from this. Additionally, he emphasizes the significance of rejoicing in all situations. Rejoicing is a choice, and with a strong foundation in Christ, joy is a result of that rejoicing. Join us for worship and study to deepen your understanding.
