Philippians 3:17-4:1 Devotional
Philippians 3:17-4:1 calls us to imitate Paul's example, to live as citizens of heaven and avoid the pitfalls of those who prioritize earthly desires. Paul's example is not just a suggestion but an encouragement to live according to the Gospel message.
As heavenly citizens, we must focus on our eternal destiny and actively live lives that reflect our heavenly citizenship, both now and in eternity. We are encouraged to remain strong in our faith, seeking God's guidance and power to live a life worthy of our heavenly calling.
We pray that God will help us discern the values of this world and see the true worth of our heavenly citizenship. We pray that God grants us the strength to resist the desires of the flesh and to stand firm in our truth. We pray that God inspires us to live as imitators of Christ, eagerly awaiting the day we will be transformed and made like Him. In Jesus, we pray. Amen.
God bless,
Pastor Moose
🌿 Palm Sunday
Sunday, April 13 - Service starts at 10:45 AM
We will have a special Easter Choir to perform an anthem on Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. During this service, congregants typically receive palm branches, symbolizing the people's joyous reception of Christ as their King. The service often includes Scripture readings recounting Jesus' entry, as well as hymns of praise. In many traditions, the procession with palms serves as a visible reminder of Christ's kingship and the love he demonstrated through his sacrifice. As the service progresses, the mood shifts to reflect the upcoming passion of Christ, setting the tone for the solemn days leading to Good Friday and Easter.
✝️ Stations of the Cross
