Calvary Church is dedicated to doctrine, and we want you to experience the life change that comes from knowing God's word and applying it to your life.

So we explain the Bible verse by verse, every chapter, every book. This is expound.

Philippians chapter four. I think I may have told you, but I'm not sure. So if I were to outline the book of Philippians, I would outline it based on its four chapters. Four sections, four chapters.

Chapter one, the marvel of the Christian life, which is love. Chapter two, the model of the

Christian life, which is Christ. Chapter three, the movement of the Christian life, which is forward.

And then chapter 4, the marks of the Christian life, which are joy and peace.

And that is such a great promise, especially those of us who were alive 56 years ago

in 1969 when we landed on the moon. The older we get, that hope of heaven gets brighter and

brighter. He's going to transform our lowly bodies.

And I don't have to say any more than I said last week about our bodies being lowly.

But if you're in touch with reality, you know that to be true.

And what I love is that promise in 1st, that we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Now, the day that the transformation takes place will be the day that we are waiting for that all of humanity

has been waiting for and that is the rapture of the church rapture day is resurrection day the
