Do Not Be Anxious
What are we to do when we find ourselves plagued by anxiety? St. Paul admonished the Philippian church to pray. But does prayer “work?” In this last passage of our series on the Book of Philippians, we discover that prayer is an invitation to intimacy with our Lord rather than a transaction. Join Fr. Ben Williams for some practical teaching on how a life cultivated in prayer is the path to joy and peace, even in the most difficult circumstances
The Upward Kingdom
Where does anxiety come from? How are we to overcome anxiety when it is in the air we breathe? This week, we continue our sermon series in the Book of Philippians. In chapter 3, St. Paul tells us to keep aiming upward, where Christ is because when we set our minds on earthly things, we become enemies of the cross. Join us as Fr. Ben Williams encourages us to aim for the heavenly kingdom, where our true citizenship lies.
A Community of Joy
How does the Church maintain a non-anxious presence in an ancient age? The answer is by becoming a community of joy. St. Paul teaches us that the path to joy is through humility. Join us on this second Sunday in our sermon series on the Book of Philippians, Anxious for Nothing. Fr. Ben Williams reminds us that just as there was joy on the other side of the cross for Jesus, there is joy on the other side of our difficulties. If we are to be a community of joy in the midst of anxiety, like Jesus, we must humble ourselves.
Striving for the Gospel
With the rapid changes happening in the world around us, we face uncertainty, which produces fear. How we respond to these conditions can breed anxiety. As the Body of Christ, each of us brings our own anxiety into the Church, which is why it is important to discern its sources. Fr. Ben Williams begins a 4-Week series in the Book of Philippians this week. Rather than fight or flight, St. Paul admonishes us to strive together for the faith of the gospel.
