These are the recent sermons preached at Free Grace Church in Fresno. These do not replace the assembling together of the body of Christ. If you are able, we would love to have you join us as we worship the Lord through song, prayer, the reading of His Word and the exposition of Scripture.
Progress in the Faith, Philippians 1:19-26
/Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:19-26
Rejoicing in the Gospel, Philippians 1:12-18
/Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:12-18
12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
