Beginnings, Part 1

SERMON NOTES: 

We are always beginning…….again!

How well do we do “Beginnings”? 

Some help from Pastor Paul in Philippians!

Philippians 1:12-26

BEGINNING “in Christ” means more JOY and HOPE with less Fear and Anxiety!

Philippians 3:7-14 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ9 and be found in him…

With my “In Christ” perspective I get to:

-          admit the reality of the past  

-          but totally trust Jesus in the present for the future!     That’s how I BEGIN!
      

What do I believe about Jesus? 

o   His Redemption, Restoration, Resurrection

o   His presence with me and purpose for me!
