New Year, New Spiritual Habits - Philippians 4:1-9

Dec 31, 2023

Summary of Sermon

Many people began the year with new resolutions. They will lose weight, and spend more time with family, friends, and on and on. Most people will stop doing these resolutions in short order and not much will change. But God calls us to be transformed, Romans 12:1-2 and we do so by renewing our minds and by affecting the way we think.

Paul gives us some ways to behave, be of one mind, vs2, take care of the spiritual workers vs 3, learn to rejoice in the Lord always vs4, learn to be gentle vs5, stop being anxious vs 6 and on, but then Paul tells us how to think.

In verse 8, we are told the foundation of proper thinking is the TRUTH. Jesus is the truth, His teachings on any subject are the truth and the Holy Scriptures are the very revelation of truth. Think on these things. When we learn to think on proper things, the result is peace, vs 9.
