I Can Do All Things Through a Verse Taken Out of Context

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 6/1/2023

The Bible contains a vast array of teachings and messages, and it is essential for us to approach scripture with wisdom and discernment. Extracting verses from their intended context can distort their true meaning and lead to misunderstandings. Regrettably, this practice has even caused some individuals to reject scripture entirely.

In our upcoming exploration of Philippians 4:1-13, we will delve into the meaning of a well-known verse: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." What exactly does this verse signify? Is it simply an encouragement to seek God's strength in accomplishing our personal desires and overcoming challenges? Or does it hold a more profound and God-centered significance? This week we will also explore other sections of the letter to the Philippians in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of this passage and what it means for our faith-filled life.
