Biblical Worldview
Aligning your view of the world with God’s Word!
Every 3rd Sunday of the month!
The next Biblical Worldview teaching will be on August 22nd
Your worldview determines your behavior!
Worldview is the lens through which we view the world. All of our experiences in life go into building and shaping our worldview. Everyone has one but not every worldview is right. As believers, our highest goal in life ought to be to please God. To do that we must have a worldview that sees the world as He sees it. We know how God sees the world because He gave us His Word, the Bible to teach us about Himself.
Sadly, many professing Christians do not have a worldview that is aligned to the Word of God. And because their worldview is out of alignment, so is their life. A Barna poll in 2020 found that only 6% of people who claim to be Christians have a biblical worldview.
Without a biblical worldview it is likely that a person's worldview is more closely related to the worldview of the culture they find themselves in. Jesus spoke to His church about how He feels about being like the culture.
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
A lukewarm church disgusts Jesus!
To be lukewarm is to be just like the culture - to have the same worldview as the culture. A biblical, Christ-honoring church is made up of people who are different than their culture - they are people with a biblical worldview.

The Joy of Knowing God’s Supply! Philippians 4:10-23
Pastor Rick Lancaster concludes a series through the letter to the Philippians – The Joy of Knowing Christ! Paul tells us that he learned to be content in every circumstance of his life. How is it possible? How did he learn this? And is it possible for us to do it today? Pastor Rick shares some thoughts on that as he brings this study to a conclusion. From a Roman prison Paul writes of grace, the gospel, and joy. There are many practical things in this short but powerful letter.

From Series: "Philippians – The Joy of Knowing Christ!"
Philippians is a letter that Paul wrote to a church he was fond of. There is an unmistakable tone of joy in this letter. That is remarkable because Paul wrote the letter while in a Roman prison where one of the possible outcomes was death. Paul looks not to his circumstances for joy and happiness but to his knowledge of Christ. Faith in Christ was the basis for Paul’s ability to experience joy – even in the darkest of circumstances. It doesn’t mean that he enjoyed the hard things of life or that they made him happy. But his knowledge of his Savior enabled Paul to see those things in a way that allowed him to choose joy as his response. Everyone wants to be happy. But let’s be real – sometimes life throws things at us that are not pleasant. The better we are able to put our trust in God and His Word – the more we will experience joy even in the midst of the dark things of life. And then when we experience the things that makes us happy, they will be even sweeter. The main thing is knowing Christ better and better.
