Today, Michael Acock speaks in the eighth message of a 10-week series as we walk through the book of Philippians. Today, we will be reading in Philippians 4:2-9.
In Philippians, Paul is inviting us to: 
1. Consider God’s activities and purposes in creation and salvation.
2. Reflect on God’s calling in our own lives.
3. Embrace a mindset that privileges others above ourselves.
This letter, the book of Philippians, includes the themes of Christ as at once humble Lord and supreme paradigm of Christian life; of unity in Christ that overcomes the forces of dissension; of a readiness to suffer for the sake of the gospel that does not rob us of joy in Christ; of the radical difference between a righteousness of our own and a righteousness from God; and of a life of thanksgiving in mutual giving and receiving.

Today, Scott Williams, Pastor Emeritus at Christian Fellowship, brings a Father's Day message for the church. He discusses the significance of Father's Day and the concept of spiritual fathering within the Christian community. He encourages celebrating fathers while addressing the pain some may feel on this day. Scott advocates for older members with spiritual wisdom to mentor younger generations. By exploring God's role as a father in the Scriptures and believers' adoption as children of God, Pastor Scott highlights the importance of spiritual fatherhood in guiding and nurturing others in the faith.
Father's Day can be a challenging day for many: for those who lost their dad, those who want to be, or those who have lost their kids. But there is encouragement to be had in others around you who can fill in the holes that loss brings.
