#216 - Phil. 1:1-8 - Thank God for Fellowship
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
In this podcast series, Charlie walks us through the book of Philippians. Today the focus is Philippians chapter 1 verses 1-8. We live in an age with "super-connectivity" where everyone is quickly and easily reached. But the problem that has arisen in the culture is we are actually more disconnected than ever. This causes a lot of isolation and loneliness which is a significant problem and only getting worse. In the attempt to not feel lonely people turn to drugs or fill their lives with things in order to fill that void of loneliness. As Charlie points out we are made for relationships; specifically with God and other people. God has a provision for real relationships; it's called fellowship. So listen as Charlie takes us through what true fellowship is about and the commonality that we have in the Christian life, Christ in me and Christ in you. We may be different but if we have Christ as the basis, we have a shared close relationship. As you'll see, this is the kind of relationship Paul had with the Philippians.

#215 - Learning to Give and Receive, Philippians 4:14-23
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Good things happen when we give. Sharing our finances can be a delicate subject to talk about, but the Apostle Paul wanted the Philippian Church to know the reality of his and their situations. When Paul first met them, he did not ask for financial support, but they were generous with him. Like the Philippians, though not rich, we can still give out of poverty. When we do, the recipients of our giving are blessed, God is blessed, and we are blessed. Not only are needs met, we have the promise of God to meet our own needs. Have you learned to both give and receive?

Is your goal to attain to full Christlikeness? It was for the Apostle Paul. When he describes his pursuit, we see a profile of a Christian determined to win the prize of a deeper intimacy with Christ. Like Paul, we must be dissatisfied with our present condition, devoted to a single goal of pursuing Christ, directed in our advance towards Him, determined to persist, and disciplined in mind and body. Listen and see if you fit this profile and learn how you can.

How should we view the nation of Israel today in light of their past rebelliousness, present disobedience, and future salvation? Do they deserve the full unmitigated support of Christians?

Dr. Fructenbaum has a calm and measured response to these issues. We would do well to heed his words.
