Still Faithful

Main message: The sermon teaches that God is still faithful: believers should thank God for faithful partnership in ministry, and trust that God will finish the good work he has started in their lives. It also emphasizes that God’s saving power is active now, bringing healing, wholeness, and transformation.

Key points:

• Paul’s words in Philippians 1 show gratitude for the Philippians’ partnership in the gospel.
• The difference between happiness and joy is that joy comes from God, not external circumstances.
• Joshua 1 is used to show the importance of partnership between leaders and God’s people in moving forward.
• The church is thanked for supporting ministry, praying, and helping carry the work.
• Philippians 1:6 is the promise that God will complete what he started.
• God’s saving power is not only about eternity; it also heals, rescues, preserves, and makes people whole now.
