About this ebook

Redeemed and made alive in Christ, but where has spiritual zeal gone? Why are you not feeling alive in Christ? So many Christians have pondered these questions. You would perhaps gladly declare that you want better fellowship with your Savior; you want to be more devoted in heart to Him. What is holding you back? Has Christian commotion drained you? Have life circumstances appeared so daunting that your faith seems like a dried raisin? Has anxiety riddled your heart and mind more than you care to admit? Life can hurl so much at us that even the children of God can become rattled and dazed. It is time to reconnect!

Come along and find out how Philippians, Unity of Mind & Joy of Spirit, a series of messages presented in simple expositional style, teaches Christians about spiritual joy. This joy is available in Christ regardless of life circumstances. See how the inventory of victories and promises, as well as the character of Jesus Christ can strengthen your soul. Experience how the joy of the Lord can revive you for purposeful living, even in serving others with Christ-like humility.

Dive in and learn how a church can have sweet unity through wholesome and humble thinking, each elevating other members higher than oneself. The apostle Paul expresses how recognizing the Masters loving care and jurisdiction over His childs entire life actually leads to contentment in the Lord. You will be amazed to find out what Paul reveals as our greatest work as children of God. What a worthwhile and fulfilling journey!

Author

Kevin A. Petrus

Kevin Petrus was raised in Carlisle, Arkansas, as a Catholic. He was presented the option of a Catholic or Protestant Bible by the Gideons at age eight and began a pursuit to determine the difference by reading the Bible. At sixteen, Kevin accepted an invitation from high school friends to attend a local Baptist church. Through the witness of these friends and the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, both from the pulpit and during Sunday school, he was convicted of his sins. In the summer of 1985, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior at the home of these friends. He was also baptized that same year by Landmark Missionary Baptist Church. Because of this affiliation, he was asked to choose Catholicism or leave home. He chose the latter. In 1986, having felt persuaded by God, Kevin surrendered to the desire to preach and quickly enrolled in the Missionary Baptist Seminary at Little Rock, Arkansas. He has three years of Bible training from the seminary. In 1987, he married his high school sweetheart, Yvonne Holcomb. They have three children: Courtney, Braxton, and Allison. Since 1994, Kevin has been pastor to Oakdale Missionary Baptist Church of Lonoke, Arkansas.
