Palmer St. Podcast: Philippians 2:1-11

Disorder is more probable than order. Think of it as entropy. Attribute it to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Whatever mental category you use, disorder is more probable than order and that principle applies to churches as well as physical substances.

Unity in the church is achieved by design. If we don’t think about what we are doing as a body, disorder will be more probable than order. If we are intentional about working together and putting others before ourselves, unity will be the result.

Palmer St. Podcast: Intro to Philippians

 

This is a letter full of joy. The words “joy” or “rejoice” appear in some form 16 times in 14 verses. Unlike many of Paul’s letters, this one was not written to correct problems, but mainly as an expression of love and thanks to a church that partnered with him in the spread of the gospel.

Palmer St. Podcast: Ephesians 4:1-16

Immaturity can be defined as imperfection, greenness, unpreparedness, inexperience, childishness or ineptitude.  In this section, Paul shows us how a church can grow up – how a church can become mature, ripe and fruitful in the deepest spiritual sense.

Palmer St. Podcast: 2 Corinthians 13

In this chapter Paul challenges the Corinthian church, saying, “Examine yourselves.”  We’re going to try to do the same, examine ourselves, noting that real Christianity involves both right Christian beliefs and real Christian experience marked by authenticity, maturity and unity with other believers in Jesus.
