Philippians 1:1-6
If you have your Bibles I would like for you to turn to the book of Philippians. I am going to begin a very exciting series of messages from the book of Philippians this morning. I am going to be preaching through this book in the next few weeks. And today's message is entitled ''God's Wonderful Family.''

They are all part of God's wonderful family in the church at Philippi. As Paul writes to this church, he writes to the saints, which are at Philippi. And I want you to know, that he is not talking about some people who died and then later on were canonized by the church thousands of years later and were dubbed saints, but when he is writing to the saints, he is writing to the people of God. There are only two kinds of people in this building this morning, the saints and the ''ain'ts''. You are either saved or you are lost. And if you are saved, you are a saint. That simply means you are set apart for the service of Jesus Christ, for you have ...
