The People Who Look Like Jesus
In the final sermon of A Re-Formed Imagination, we see that Philippians is forming more than private faith. It is forming a people whose life together displays the beauty and worth of Jesus.
Joy On the Other Side of Surrender
What kind of life produces durable joy in an anxious and exhausted world? In Philippians, we discover that joy grows wherever Christ becomes more central than the self.
Saints in Caesar's Household
The Kingdom of God has a long history of showing up where it isn't supposed to be — even in Caesar's own house. This week we explore what it means to be a saint in the empire.
The Economy of the Kingdom
What we do with money is never merely financial — it's liturgical. Paul's closing words to Philippi press us toward a cruciform generosity that looks less like a budget line and more like a household.
Strength Beyond Strength
We've been reading Philippians 4:13 all wrong. What if the most famous verse about strength is actually a verse about surrender — and a far better kind of strength?
A Mind Renewed for a Chaotic World
We are being catechized by our consumption, formed by what we consume. Philippians 4:8–9 calls us to a different kind of mind — one shaped by the cross and captivated by Christ.
Joy on the Other Side of the Cross
From a prison cell, Paul commands us to rejoice — not because everything is fine, but because the tomb is empty. On Easter Sunday, we discover why resurrection changes the architecture of our interior lives.
When Unity Gets Personal
When Paul names two leaders publicly and calls them to reconcile, he’s showing us that unity isn’t managed — it’s made possible by the gospel that holds us together.
Becoming By Beholding
We are formed by what we behold. In Philippians 3, Paul calls us into a communal, embodied pattern of imitation — fixing our eyes on Christ and on those who are walking faithfully toward him.
