Filled with Fruit β Philippians 1:1-11 | Greg Gardiner
<p>π Philippians 1:1-11</p><p>π Paul opens his letter to the Philippians and immediately does something the English text hides: almost every "you" in these verses is plural, "you all" β this letter is written to a church, not a collection of individuals. Working through verses 1-11, Pastor Greg Gardiner traces Paul's testimony framework and shows what a Spirit-changed community looks like in practice: love that overflows sacrificially, growing knowledge of God's word, and lives marked by ongoing repentance.</p><p>The passage roots all of this in grace, not effort. God is the one who began the good work and God is the one who will finish it. The call to the Philippians, and to us, is to let that grace produce visible fruit together, not alone.</p><p>ποΈ Preached by Ps Greg Gardiner (from Disciples Church Springfield) at Christ our Refuge on 28 June, 2026</p><p>π₯ Filmed and published by Good News Unlimited<br>βΈ»<br>π Learn more or connect with us:</p><p>π Christ our Refuge β a gospel-centred church in Brisbane, Australia, offering refuge, security, and hope in Christ -Β <a href="https://christrefuge.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://christrefuge.co</a></p>
