Philippians 1:18b-26 - A Certain Confidence
Paul puts the Gospel first in ministry because for him to life is Christ and to die is gain. Everyone lack confidence but when it comes to the worship of God a lack of confidence is either from sinfulness or ignorance. Why do we cherish or treasure things that don’t make God great? Paul’s answer was that we center our living on the false, fake, limited, and/or powerless things. For Paul Christian ministry must get back to a cross Center life that gives the greatest confidence. This Cross centered worship give us confidence that results from 1) Confidence in the Final vindication (18b-20), 2) Confidence in Life or death (21-24), and 3) Confidence for ministry to others (25-26). Focusing on the cross in Gospel worship gives us confidence that we will be vindicated in the last judgment. It did not matter what other did to him, he was on a ultimate mission. No matter what postmoderns say today, we can have certainty about things even thought knowledge of reality may sometimes be partial. It is ludicrous to say that you are certain that you are not certain. You don’t have to be omniscient to be certain about reality because our resources are outside of our selves – i.e. revelation and the supply of the Holy Spirit. Personal conversion and commitment are what is needed to the revelation that is given to supply our certainty. Confidence for Paul also came because of how he value life and death as profit for him. It did not matter because for Paul the apex of his values in his life and worship was Christ alone. Worship that brings confidence is radically God-centered, radically satisfying, and radically an end in itself. This freed Paul to have confidence to minister to others and it will give a great confidence to.

Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable / Stay in the boat.
The faith of many is being tested right now. We need to rejoice, because the testing of our faith is good for us. It means there’s something the enemy is trying to keep us from. It helps strengthen us. Those who are not being tested need to be agreeing with those who are that they will receive that for which they are believing. We need to stay in joy. God will come though for us. Stay in faith. Stay in the boat, in joy. Joy is the boat. There’s no triumph without a trial, no victory without a battle. But the battle is the Lord’s. Don’t give up, you’re almost there.

2 Samuel 2:1-11 - A Tale of 2 Kingdoms
One needs to understand the importance of humility in leadership. This passage shows a contrast in a leaders who power is based on Humility (David) and one whose power is based on human pride and autonomy. David seeks God in his efforts to rule and while Abner and Ishbosheth seek only their own Advantage in their efforts to rule. David is a great type of a christian who that those who trust God must be humble by acknowledge sinfulness and weakness through an intimate relationship with God in prayer.

John 10:22-42 - Secure
Jesus is the Good Shepherd and His sheep are secure in Him. If we believe that Jesus is God who came to die for our sins and we follow Him we can rest assured that we are one of His sheep and He holds us securely in His hands. Knowing this should give us confidence and boldness to proclaim the Gospel.
