(ESV)---In Philippians 1:9–11, Paul prays for believers to have a love that keeps growing in knowledge and discernment. In Love That Knows, Jed Gillis explains that Christian love is more than affection. It knows people deeply, understands what matters spiritually, and takes initiative for their good. This kind of love produces pure motives, helps others grow without causing them to stumble, and bears abundant fruit through Jesus Christ. Because we are limited, we cannot have deep relationships with everyone, but every believer can take the next step in loving others. As God grows this love in His people, their relationships become a visible display of His grace and bring glory and praise to Him.---Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

    Should Christians Be Afraid of God? | Reverberate Podcast

    Title: Should Christians Be Afraid of God?---0:00 Introduction0:27 What Is the Fear of God?16:44 Fearing and Loving the Same Person21:09 But the Bible Also Says Love Casts Out Fear?25:30 Fear that Draws You In29:53 What's Next?---Ecclesiastes 12:13The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (ESV)---Ecclesiastes ends with the command to “fear God and keep his commandments,” but what kind of fear should Christians have toward a God who loves them? Pastor Jed Gillis, Pastor Isaias Viñales, and Jason Harper discuss how the fear of God goes beyond simple respect or reverence. God’s holiness, power, and judgment should produce real awe and trembling, yet His goodness and grace mean that believers do not need to fear Him as a malicious or unpredictable threat. Instead, biblical fear draws us closer to God. Through Christ, the God whose power should make us tremble is also the God who welcomes us to find refuge in Him.---Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

    Title: From Start to Finish---0:00 — Introduction0:14 — The Drawing Analogy2:22 — How Do We Live It Out?3:51 — Paul's Greeting to the Philippians5:23 — It Is Right to Feel This Way7:19 — Paul's Mindset (Phroneo)10:12 — You Hold Them in Your Heart12:31 — Partakers of Grace15:11 — Defense and Confirmation of the Gospel16:55 — Longing with the Affection of Christ20:31 — The Quality of Our Love26:28 — God Finishes What He Starts30:36 — Every Stage of Life37:20 — Closing---Philippians 1:6–7And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. (ESV)---In Philippians 1:6-7, Paul’s love and confidence toward the Philippian believers are rooted in the grace of God at work in them. Though they were still imperfect, Paul could remember them with gratitude, pray for them with joy, and hold them in his heart because they shared in the Gospel and were being changed by God’s grace. Their partnership showed itself through sacrifice, defending the Gospel, and lives that confirmed its truth. Paul’s confidence was not based on their ability to reach spiritual maturity on their own. It rested in God’s faithfulness. The God who begins the work of salvation and transformation in His people will carry it through to completion. That truth gives believers hope in their own slow growth and patience toward brothers and sisters who are still growing.

    If God Has a Purpose, Why Can’t We See It? | Reverberate Podcast

    Title: If God Has a Purpose, Why Can’t We See It? --- 0:00 Introduction 0:27 The Purpose is Christ-likeness, Not a Specific Benefit 5:25 Remembering We Live in a Fallen World Can Anchor Us 12:57 What's Next? --- Romans 8:18–25 and Ecclesiastes 11:5. We groan in a broken world while awaiting restoration, trusting God without understanding everything he is doing. Supporting passages: Ecclesiastes 7:2–4. Mourning helps us face the reality of death and consider how we live. John 11:33–35. Jesus grieves and weeps at Lazarus’ tomb. Ecclesiastes --- When something painful happens outside your control, it’s natural to ask why. What is God teaching you? What good could come from this? But can trying to identify a specific purpose make suffering harder? Continuing our conversation about chance and God’s care, Jed Gillis, Isaias Viñales, and Jason Harper discuss the limits of our understanding and the comfort of trusting a good Father. We consider why a good outcome doesn’t erase the pain, why grief belongs in the Christian life, and how the promise of restoration gives us hope even when we don’t get an explanation. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

    One King, One People | Philippians 1:3–5

(ESV) --- In Philippians 1:3–5, Paul’s joy and gratitude for the Philippian church flow from their partnership in the gospel. Jed Gillis explains that true Christian fellowship is deeper than simply gathering together. It grows from a shared allegiance to King Jesus, a shared treasure in the gospel, and shared action in serving Christ. Because believers belong to the same King, they are partners rather than competitors. Paul models what this fellowship looks like as he remembers other believers with gratitude, prays for them often, and does so with joy. We are called to examine our own allegiance to Christ and ask the Holy Spirit to shape our relationships into this same kind of gospel-centered fellowship. --- Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.

Moving beyond Old Testament physical temples, God now resides directly within every Christian, transforming their bodies into His personal sanctuary. This indwelling Spirit actively sanctifies believers from one degree of glory to another while guaranteeing a far greater eternal inheritance to come. Though possessing these spiritual firstfruits produces a natural tension—manifested in inward groaning and longing for final redemption—believers do not wait alone; the Holy Spirit sympathetically groans alongside them in their weakness, continually interceding according to God’s perfect will.---Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.
