Philippians 2:12-13
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Following on the heels of the proclamation of the glorious truths regarding Jesus’ humiliation and exaltation, Paul switches gears and tackles the nitty gritty of the Christian life. He takes the church at Philippi up the mountaintop of doctrinal glory and then leads them back down to everyday life. Join us as we contemplate our calling as a result of the work of Christ.
Romans 10:5-17
Rev. Charlie Phillips
The ultimate paradox. Pure power seated in pure humility. The Lord of life riding towards the chosen hill of death. A choice. Pain, torture, redemption. All in the name of love. All for the securing of eternal beings made in His image. His end wouldn’t be our end. It would be the beginning of worldwide proclamation. He’d prayed for it and the Spirit would deliver it. Join us this week as we connect Jesus’ ride on Palm Sunday with our call to proclaim His glory to the world.
Philippians 1:22-26
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Have you ever gotten front row tickets or ringside seats to a sporting event or concert? The close proximity to the action gives you a perspective far greater and more animated than any other seat in the house. This Sunday we’ll be front and center inside the mind of the Apostle Paul as he weighs a heavy decision. Join us as we learn how to think deeply about life and decision-making.
Philippians 1:18b-21
Rev. Charlie Phillips
What does a man think about while in prison? As the sun rises and sets day in and day out what sort of thoughts fill his mind—especially as he knows that death might be right around the corner? Join us this Sunday as we enter into the mind of the Apostle Paul to understand the thoughts of a man suffering for the sake of the Gospel—a man who was determined to rejoice!
Philippians 1:12-14
Rev. Barr Overcast
For each of us who are living in the good news of Jesus, we now have a call from God to share this same good news with others. But what about when our lives are marked by pain and trials? Join us this Sunday as we see how the gospel is always advancing, even when we are weighed down by chains.
During a game, a coach will typically draw his players in at halftime. Whether ahead or behind, a good coach wants to rally his team - motivate them to finish strong. Developing players is a never-ending task. This is the essence of what we find Paul doing in the second half of his epistle to the Romans, where he transitions in Romans 12 from deep theology to practical "walkology." We are to live out what we believe. That's where we are headed Sunday. Hope you'll join us!
'Feet selfies' find their way to social media from time to time. Often they involve sand sun, and water. Although pedicured and golden, uneven toes - even on a sunny beach - are usually in need of a good pair of shoes. But, Scripture does describe feet that heaven declares are always "beautiful". They aren't the ones that make it to social media, but those that deliver the message of the gospel! Join us Sunday for "Beautiful Feet"!
