37 Phil - Gain for Us is Loss for Christ 07/19/2026

37 Phil - Gain for Us is Loss for Christ He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose. Are you a fool or wise? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23471474

36 Phil - Paul's Best Was Not Good Enough 07/16/2026

36 Phil - Paul's Best Was Not Good Enough Do you boast in Christ Jesus? Or do you have a tendency to boast in yourself? It’s so easy to slip into self-boasting and to forget that our glory is in the Lord. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23471462

35 Phil - Your Identity in Christ is Your Greatest Weapon 07/14/2026

35 Phil - Your Identity in Christ is Your Greatest Weapon From time to time I have people from a certain cult who come knocking on my door offering me literature and a way to find peace through Jehovah. Do you know how much enticement that is to me? Zero! None! They have no pull on me because I know who Christ is! You can know who Christ is also! /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23471432

34 Phil - Beware! 07/12/2026

34 Phil - Beware! Paul had a warning for the church in Philippi. Paul had a warning for the church today. Beware of those who corrupt the Gospel. Stand firm for the truth of the gospel of the grace of God for all people equally. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23452058

33 Phil - Surveying the Battlefield 07/09/2026

33 Phil - Surveying the Battlefield A great man once said, “Paul had enough morality to keep himself out of trouble, but not enough righteousness to get himself into heaven!” What about you? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23452028

32 Phil - The Example of Epaphroditus 07/07/2026

32 Phil - The Example of Epaphroditus It’s so easy to follow Christ when the crowds are watching and the deeds are noble and heroic. But what about when no one is watching and the works we do are small – like mowing the lawn, setting up the coffee, sweeping the floor, or collecting the offering? Nothing is small or insignificant if it is done for Jesus. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23452001

31 Phil - The Example of Timothy 07/05/2026

31 Phil - The Example of Timothy Are you a Philippians 1:21 Christian or a Philippians 2:21 Christian? What’s the difference? Listen today and find out. It may change your life! /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451962

30 Phil - The Example of Paul 07/02/2026

30 Phil - The Example of Paul God wants to show you off to the world. He wants to say, “look at my children. These are my children that I have purchased.” /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451875

29 Phil - God's Work in You 06/30/2026

29 Phil - God's Work in You The one who flung galaxies into existence, the one whose holiness causes angels to cover their faces and prophets to fall on their faces, is the one who is at work within us. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451839

28 Phil - Work Out Your Salvation 06/28/2026

28 Phil - Work Out Your Salvation “The Christian life is not a series of ups and downs. Rather it is ins and outs. God works in and we work out.” /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451785

27 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Lord - 2 06/25/2026

27 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Lord - 2 God loves it when knees bow to Jesus. It brings glory to the Father because it shows his wisdom in leading his son through the darkness of suffering and death. Who would have thought that that would be the path to salvation? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451752

26 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Lord - 1 06/23/2026

26 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Lord - 1 People speak of Chris’s death, resurrection, and ascension but they are missing the mark on that last point. It was not the physical act of “ascending “that was so important. Rather, it was the fact that he was exalted to the place of highest honor. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451707

25 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Servant - 2 06/21/2026

25 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Servant - 2 Paul sets forth the greatest example of humility – Jesus Christ. Before he was born he lived, not as angel, but as God himself, as the creator of all and that makes the passage and its ethical point that much sharper. Paul is providing the first of four examples of humility and he begins with the greatest – the creator of the universe showed what he is really like by not taking advantage of and holding on to his privileges. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451629

24 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Servant - 1 06/18/2026

24 Phil - Have the Attitude of Christ the Servant - 1 Paul says, your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. He doesn’t say your theology should be the same as Christ Jesus – although it should! But in this passage he says your attitude should be like Christ’s. Is it? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451578

23 Phil - Eight Paths of Peace 06/16/2026

23 Phil - Eight Paths of Peace Humility of mind is a uniquely Christian concept in the ancient world because the ancients associated humility with servitude and groveling. But Paul and Christ showed humility to be the way of God – not groveling but obedience and being a servant for the sake of others. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451557

22 Phil - God's Resources for Unity and Peace 06/14/2026

22 Phil - God's Resources for Unity and Peace Do you have a relationship with Christ where you know he is encouraging you when you are down, exhorting you when you need a challenge, imploring you when you need extra motivation, and urging you to press forward in your life? Christ wants to be all of those for us. Learn about it today. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/23451416

21 Phil - the Power of Example 06/11/2026

21 Phil - the Power of Example The word of God is able to pierce the deepest parts of our human nature and change us, but when the Spirit of God takes the word of God and points to the people of God who are living it – that has the greatest impact of all. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22905731

20 Phil The Gift of Suffering 2 06/09/2026

20 Phil The Gift of Suffering 2 Today, as we continue in our study of the book of Philippians and the last part of chapter 1 which speaks of the suffering God has called us to, I’m delighted to have as our guest Carl Moeller who is the president of Open Doors ministry. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22905677

19 Phil The Gift of Suffering 1 06/07/2026

19 Phil The Gift of Suffering 1 More Christians were martyred for their faith in the 20th century than in any other century. Surprising isn’t it. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22905614

18 Phil Striving Together for the Faith 06/04/2026

18 Phil Striving Together for the Faith We are engaged in a great spiritual contest for the glory of the Lord in the world, and we must not let individual achievements or fame overshadow what can only be done when we are united for the faith of the gospel. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22905569

17 Phil - To Die is Gain 06/02/2026

17 Phil - To Die is Gain Have you ever been in situations where you felt out of place, you felt like you didn’t belong, and were uncomfortable? You will never feel that when you are with Christ. You will be in the place where you belong, the place you were made for – the presence of God. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22905512

16 Phil - To Live is Christ 2 05/31/2026

16 Phil - To Live is Christ 2 We have seen the contrast between the way people in the world live and the way a genuine Christian lives. Some in the world will say, “for me to live is power,” while a genuine Christian would say, “For me to live is serving others.” Some in the world will say, “for me, to live is possessions,” but a genuine Christian will say, “for me, to live is giving.” How do you fill in the blank? What do you say, “For me, to live is … what? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22484144

15 Phil - For to Me to Live is Christ - Part 1 05/28/2026

15 Phil - For to Me to Live is Christ - Part 1 Paul said, “for to me, to live is Christ,” but what do we say? For us, to live is ________, what? Listen today and find out how many people answer this question /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22484087

14 Phil - Paul's Expectation and Hope 05/26/2026

14 Phil - Paul's Expectation and Hope “This is what I live for,” says Paul, “this is my core value, my conviction.” What was Paul referring to? Listen today and you’ll find out! /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22484042

13 Phil - Different Preachers, Same Gospel 05/24/2026

13 Phil - Different Preachers, Same Gospel It’s tragic, but it is true that sometimes, some preachers don’t have the best intentions or motives. Paul says they do not have pure motives. They were men with selfish ambition. They thought preaching the gospel was a way for some kind of career advancement or a way for some to gain a following to stroke their ego. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22483976

12 Phil - How the Gospel Spread in Rome 05/21/2026

12 Phil - How the Gospel Spread in Rome Paul’s Roman guards were hearing the Gospel. The palace guard was sometimes called The Praetorian Guard. They were elite Roman soldiers who served as bodyguards for generals as early as 275 BC and eventually Roman emperors when the republic became an empire. They were important on the battlefield and in power politics as well and were even involved in the assassination of emperors! These were not men you messed with. Somehow the message that Paul was bringing had made its way into this body of elite soldiers! How did that happen? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22483865

11 Phil - Your Circumstances are No Obstacle for God 05/19/2026

11 Phil - Your Circumstances are No Obstacle for God What’s limiting you? What terrible circumstances are you in? I do not want to minimize your difficulty, but listen today and see how Paul worked through his terrible circumstances for the glory of God. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22483790

10 Phil - Prayer for the Glory and Praise of God 05/17/2026

10 Phil - Prayer for the Glory and Praise of God Brothers and sisters – this is why you and I were created. We do not exist for ourselves. We do not exist for our pleasure. We exist for the pleasure of God. God created all things to express the magnificence of his glory. From the furthest galaxy to the tiniest particle in a cell everything was made to shout glory and to point to the glorious one. Psalm 19:1 says the heavens are telling of the glory of God. But there is something even more glorious than the heavens – it is you and I. The highest, most God-glorifying part of creation is humanity. /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22483754

09 Phil - Prayer That Leads to Wise Choices 05/14/2026

09 Phil - Prayer That Leads to Wise Choices Discerning what is most valuable in life. I remember my father saying, “too soon old, too late smart.” I also remember someone saying that “80% of wisdom, is being right in time.” All of us have great wisdom, after the fact, after the event. But to be wise in time, to be wise ahead of the choice, that is the trick. This message will help you be "wise in time." /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22483715

08 Phil Prayer for Abounding Love 05/12/2026

08 Phil Prayer for Abounding Love What would you ask for, if God came to you in a vision and said, ‘Ask whatever you want, and I will give it to you.’” What would you ask for? /episode/index/show/wgsministries/id/22474151
