Antidote to Anxiety | Philippians 4:4-9

As South Africans, there are many reasons for us to be anxious – whether it’s crime, the way our country is governed, the economy, or insecurity about the future. It's not only here in South Africa, but the world over. There is a real fracturing especially in Western culture. Lots of us struggle with anxiety.
In a similar way, the Philippian church was also experiencing anxiety at the time Paul wrote this letter. They were anxious about disunity and quarrels within the church. We saw this last week with the dispute between Euodia and Syntyche. The church was also worried about destructive false teachers (Judaizers and prosperity gospel). Their founder, their pastor, Paul, who had discipled them and grown them in their faith was locked up in a prison in Rome hundreds of miles away from them. This young church plant faced some significant threats and so they were understandably anxious. Paul speaks directly into this situation in this text. What we will see that because God grants us his peace in Christ, there is no need to be anxious. Instead we can rejoice in the Lord.

Stand Together in the Lord | Philippians 4:1-3

I don’t think is one of us who has not been hurt by someone else. Perhaps we’ve been had false accusations levelled against us, hurtful and damaging words exchanged, betrayal, promises not kept, possibly leading to a complete breakdown of a relationship. Unfortunately this is life, and this is reality of this sin-cursed world – brokenness in relationships because we’re all sinners. Yet what happens when a relationship breakdown happens in the church, between brothers and sisters in Christ? How do we deal with this?
We need to remember that this is nothing new, even in the church, Paul and Barnabas had a fall out because of John Mark in Acts 13. And in this passage, two ladies in the Philippian church, Euodia and Syntyche also had a falling out. How then are we to deal with relational breakdowns amongst believers? What we will see from this text is that because we’ve been reconciled to Christ and our names have been written in the book of life, we have no option but to be reconciled.

Citizens of Heaven | Philippians 3:17-21

If you believe that heaven can be attained in this life, then there are significant implications to how you will live. Your attitude will be that you need to bank everything on this life – live literally like there’s no tomorrow. You will find suffering, sickness and pain something abnormal and to be avoided at all costs, as those things are absent from heaven. You will have the temptation to accumulate as much wealth as you can in order to create your heavenly home here on earth. You will want to live how you please, gratify every desire you have and follow your heart in order to make this life like your heaven.
This is essentially the message of the prosperity gospel which is all too common in our context – the promise of health, wealth and happiness – live a life of heaven on earth. Yet this message is actually nothing new. The early church faced their own prosperity gospel preachers. In fact Paul has in mind a form of prosperity gospel in our text this morning. These false teachers are so focused on living their best life on earth, that they have actually lost sight of heaven itself. What we will see in this text is that because our citizenship is in heaven, we are to live here on earth holding to a future heavenly hope.
