Bigger Than My Expectations (1 of 4)
Series: God is Bigger
Scott Maze
Philippians 1:3-11; Ephesians 3:20-21
Today, we begin a series entitled, God is Bigger. This will be a short 4-week study of the book of Philippians.
I want invite you to supersize your faith in the coming days by turning to Philippians 1. Easter Sunday was a good day of harvest for our church family 12 people indicated they either prayed to receive Christ or wanted to know more information.
What if you received a letter from a prisoner who is unjustly incarcerated and his rights were trampled because he was beaten? What would expect the letter to say? Probably the letter would discuss the legal strategy and the work of quality attorneys working pro-bono on behalf of your incarcerated friend?
