Philippians | Fragrant Offerings
Rob Norman: Fragrant Offerings
When we embark on a faith walk with Jesus there is every chance we will face seasons of living in want! The contemporary “faith message” doesn’t always deal with this fact well, many “faith preachers” leave us with the impression that to be ‘in want’ is to be without faith. Yet, the Apostle Paul, here, is strongly suggesting that followers of Jesus should expect to have seasons in our lives where we live in plenty and seasons where we live in want! Neither of these conditions are indicators of faith they are simply symptoms of life.
Philippians | The Lord Is Near
Rob Norman: The Lord Is Near
The kingdom of heaven is full of ‘hidden treasures’ waiting to be found. They are not hidden so that we can’t have them, they are hidden so that we will seek them and find them. The process of seeking is vital in the life of a disciple.
Philippians | Position Yourself
Garry Grosvenor: Position Yourself
The Apostle Paul, on positioning ourselves for what is to come Philippians 2:19-30
Philippians | We’re In This Thing Together
Rob Norman: We’re In This Thing Together
Like mindedness doesn’t mean we have the same opinion on every matter of life. Our like mindedness is based on being ‘united in Christ’. The brilliance of the church is that God has brought together people with different gifts and ideas for a common cause and purpose.
Philippians | The Meaning Of Life
Rob Norman: The Meaning Of Life
The only solution to the helplessness of our generation is to call them to a radical obedience to Jesus. A Gospel that simply adds Christianity to our lives is profoundly deficient and an affront to God.
Philippians | The Joy Of The Lord
Rob Norman: The Joy Of The Lord
Paul’s joy was obviously NOT dependant on money, power, healing or acceptance of others. His joy came from knowing Jesus. Not a false or fabricated Jesus, but Jesus of Nazareth, God’s only begotten Son.

New Years Eve | Forget What Is Behind
Rob Norman: New Years Eve – Forget what is behind (Philippians 3)
We don’t forget what God has achieved, or attained, in us; these are the foundations upon which He will build. We do forget the pain and hardship because they are temporal; they belong to this world and are not worthy of the next world. In the end Jesus will ultimately wipe these hardships away.
Making Disciples | Works & Actions
Rob Norman: Discipleship – Works & Actions
Disciples do the works of Jesus – announcing the good news of His kingdom, healing the sick, casting out demons and releasing miracles. These actions require a paradigm shift and a leap into the unknown.
Making Disciples | Christlikeness
Rob Norman: Discipleship – Christlikeness
Sanctification and empowering are both miraculous works of the Spirit; in fact, it is arguably more miraculous to change the character of a person than it is to work miracles through them.
Making Disciples | Obedience
Rob Norman: Discipleship – Obedience
Obedience sounds simple. The truth is, it’s easy to be obedient when we agree with the other person, it’s a whole different ballgame when we are in disagreement with the person to whom we are meant to be obedient. It’s at this place where real obedience kicks in.
Making Disciples | The Outward Journey
Rob Norman: Discipleship – The Outward Journey
Jesus is speaking to two groups of people here, those who hear His words and put them into practice, and those who hear His words and don’t put them into practice. The first group are able to withstand the tempest, the second group are destroyed by it.

Making Disciples | The Inward Journey
Rob Norman: Discipleship – The Inward Journey
For the disciple, the journey inward is not a journey of introspection, self-examination or isolation from others. It is a journey that is ultimately and outwardly productive.
Making Disciples | Inside Out
Rob Norman: Discipleship – Inside Out
Discipleship is both an inward and outward journey. The discipleship journey is one in which we are becoming more like Jesus. This is necessarily a slow process, in fact it is a lifelong commitment.

Making Disciples | What Is Discipleship?
Rob Norman: What Is Discipleship?
When we look at Jewish discipleship as it was understood within the context of Jesus’ first century setting, we begin to understand just what Jesus was demanding that we do among the nations.
