    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Aug30.pdf * Last week we considered Paul's prayerful desires for the church of Philippi. He sought to bless them with the grace and peace of God, he revealed his thankfulness to God for them, and shared that he asked God for their love to be ever-increasing and to be discerning. * As Paul was incredibly thankful for the Fellowship of the Gospel that he had with the Philippian church, so we will see today that he was excited about the Furtherance of the Gospel that had been wrought through his false trial and imprisonment. In Acts 21-28 we read of Paul's arrest in the Temple, subsequent trials in Caesarea, appeal unto Caesar, journey with shipwreck, and arrival in Rome. There in Rome, Paul was placed under house arrest. Acts 28:30-31 states, "Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him." * Today, we consider Paul's testimony regarding how God had been using this "trial." Paul had been able to look beyond his own circumstances to see how God could use this situation to grow His Kingdom. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 30, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Aug23.pdf * Last week we considered the beginning of the church of Philippi and Paul's letter to them. We mentioned that this letter was written approximately only 12 years after Paul's initial visit there. * We also briefly mentioned last week the theme that runs through this letter - the call to continue in the oneness (koinonia) that they have in Christ Jesus. * Today, we begin considering this letter of encouragement and exhortation more fully by considering Paul's opening declaration of his blessing, thanksgiving and supplication for these dear believers. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 23, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    01 Philippians 1:1-2; Acts 16 (Introduction to Philippians)
    2026/08/16
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Aug16.pdf * Soon after Marcia and I were saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ, we began to memorize God's Word. Through the discipleship of Woody and Della Proffitt, we were encouraged to memorize books at a time. The Lord led Marcia and I to memorize Paul's epistle to the Philippians. It quickly became clear why - as it has truly dominated my thinking for the past 42 years. Marcia and I had chosen James 1:22-25 as our life verses as a couple when we were given a new heart in Christ. But, as I memorized and meditated upon Paul's testimony and words to this church, his pursuit became my pursuit - to know Christ! For too many years, I knew about Jesus. Now, having experienced His grace and mercy, and the peace which passes understanding, I wanted to KNOW Him! * Interestingly, this is the first time that I will be teaching through this book during a morning worship service. I spent a long time teaching through it during Sunday School in 1997 and 2010. Otherwise, it has been that precious letter which God has used predominantly to help me change the way I think. * Paul's letter to the Philippians was written approximately only 12 years after his initial visit there and the planting of the church. On that visit, Paul and his companions had led Lydia and her household to Jesus, they had cast out the demon from the fortune teller slave, and they had led the Philippian jailer's family to the Lord. We are not told how long Paul and his entourage were in Philippi ... but it appears that they were there for only a couple of months at most. Acts 16:12 states "we were staying in that city for some days." And then, verse 18 states that the slave girl who was possessed with a spirit of divination pestered Paul for "many days." Paul then visited Philippi briefly a couple of years later after the riot in Ephesus (cf. Acts 20:1-6). * In this short letter, we have an exhortation for the church to remain unified in their focus on Christ and seeking to make His known to those in their sphere of influence. * Today, the goal is to consider the background and overview of the book. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 16, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Aug09.pdf * Last week, we saw that suffering is not optional. It is an integral part of the calling to follow after Jesus. Paul tells the church, that we will be glorified together with Christ IF we have suffered with Him. But praise be to God that the sufferings of this world are not worth to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us! * In our last week for this series, we will be considering the application of the principles we have already looked at. Now that we’ve contemplated these ideas, what do we do with them and how do we use them? * This message was presented by Justin Williams on August 9, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    03 1 Peter 2:20-25 (A Principle of Suffering)
    2026/08/02
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Aug02.pdf * God is Holy, that is to say He is set apart, and He desires us to be Holy as He is. This call to Holiness begins with us acknowledging that there is no one else like Him and it plays out in our actions as we sanctify (the act of setting apart) Him in our hearts. Belonging to God, living on His terms, reserving ourselves for him, delighting in Him, and finding satisfaction is so doing. * Contentment is no easy thing. But, when we adopt a clear perspective of the life we now live in Christ, we realize there is no greater purpose or pleasure. Our call to be like Him compels us to walk in his footsteps, to be holiness to the Lord, and to suffer as He did. * This message was presented by Justin Williams on August 2, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jul26.pdf * Last week, we focused on an application of God's Holiness through the Sinai Principal. We followed the Israelites as they entered into the covenant with God and sawa the disasterous results of an underlying heart issue. We even compared the callous and foolish responses of the people to that of Moses, and ultimately to ourselvs. This left us with a challenge: don't try to make your life's story about you, because it's not. It is all about God. * Today, we move to another example from the same bible-study method and the one that started it all for me. This principal application rlightly belongs to an old friend who originally taught this method and this principal to me. His name is Mr. Rick McClain, and this is the Stephen Principle.

The focus of this message will be the presentation of The Holy God, a contrast in responses to His Holiness, and drawing applications for us today. * This message was presented by Justin Williams on July 19, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

    14 Ecclesiastes 11-12 (Remember Your Creator In Your Future)
    2026/07/12
    * You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jul12.pdf * Today, we come to our final study of Solomon's proclamation of what he has discovered regarding meaning and purpose in life. He has struggled to see purpose in life as he considers that same types of things happen to people across various cultural boundaries. The rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak, and the wise and the foolish, all experience afflictions in life, and in the end all will die. What you have attained in this world - under the sun - will not go with you past the grave. That, to Solomon, caused everything in life to be meaningless and a vanity of vanities. His philosophy of life was limited to the Temporal Pleasures rather than a comprehension of the Eternal Rewards. * As we come into the final two chapters of the book, Solomon deals with the end result of his musings. How should all of this affect my living as I consider my future - both temporal and eternal? Solomon provides two key pieces of wisdom to his readers: As you prepare for your temporal future on the earth: sow seeds ... and As you prepare for your eternal future: serve YHWH. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 12, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
