Sunday’s Sermon:
Aliso Creek Church Podcast
Passage:
10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly because once again you renewed your care for me. You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. 11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. 12 I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. 13 I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me. 14 Still, you did well by partnering with me in my hardship.
15 And you Philippians know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent gifts for my need several times. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit that is increasing to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you provided—a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings. 22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
(Philippians 4:10-23 CSB17)
Song:
My God Is All I Need by Fiona Aghajanian, Harrison Druery, Jaywan Maxwell, Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson, Ruth Harms Calkin, and Tiarne Tranter
Lyrics:
Dark, dark is the valley
Faint the light at my feet
But whatever may face me
My God is all I need
Bright bright are the treasures
Life may offer to me
But whatever the pleasure
My God is all I need
He is my strength when I cannot go on
Peace when all my power is gone
Hope although the night is long and deep
He is my song for He has rescued me
Joy now He has set me free
Praise praise to my Father be
My God is all I need
Brief brief are my days here
Soon my journey complete
But I look to my Saviour
Where God has met my need
Yes He has met my need
My God is so big so strong and so mighty
There’s nothing my God cannot do
My God is so big so strong and so mighty
There’s nothing my God cannot do
The mountains are His the valleys are His
The stars are His handiwork too
My God is so big so strong and so mighty
There’s nothing my God cannot do
There’s nothing my God cannot do
Praise praise to my Father be
My God is all I need
Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
