The Fullness After the Empty

After a tough and candid look at the call of the Christian life to say no to self and yes to God, Pastor Trevor felt that the church needed to be reminded of the JOY that should define the Christian life - even in self-denial! While we are called and convicted by the Holy Spirit to be emptied, the emptiness is no end in itself. It is just the necessary first step to experiencing true fullness in Christ. The same Paul who wrote about his perpetual battle with his flesh in Romans 7, also writes Philippians, which is a shining tribute of the immutable Joy that comes with having Jesus living in us, and re-tuning our hearts to love what God loves. Based on a lengthy reading from Philippians, the Pastor offers 20 things that all (and ONLY) Christians can enjoy in life. (If you would like a copy of this list, please contact the church office.)
