Sermon Highlights

As Fathers and Christians, let's emulate Paul's…

· Concern for others – in general and specifically

· Striving for perfection – "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil 3:14)

· Effort to save the lost – wherever we are, and to all, as God gives us opportunity

· Joy in suffering – finding our joy in Christ, despite the situation.

At the end of our life, may we boldly say, "The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do…" (Phil 4:9)

When we surrender our lives to the Lord, the Holy Spirit helps us to have the right mental filter.

That filter is given in Philippians 4:8 – "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things."
