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.
Philippians 2:9-11
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This week we’ll be focusing on the second half of what has been called a “Christ hymn” of the early church (Philippians 2:5-11). In verses 9-11 we’ll encounter one of the fullest expositions of Jesus’ identity in all of Scripture. Join us as we learn about the incredible nature of Jesus’ exaltation and the future glory we will all experience.
Philippians 2:5-8
Rev. Barr Overcast
It's one thing to know we're called to humility. It's another thing to actually live that out. Join us this Sunday as we see how Jesus serves as our perfect example and motivation for living a life of humility before God.
John 11:17-44
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Jonathan Edwards said that the “resurrection of Christ is the most joyful event that ever came to pass; because hereby Christ rested from the great and difficult work of purchasing redemption, and received God’s testimony, that it was finished”. But how does His finished work apply to our joy today? Join us this Sunday as we contemplate and celebrate our risen Lord and Savior!
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 is known as Paul's joy letter. We've seen that the source of Paul's joy as he waits in prison is knowing and being known by Jesus, and he finds so much joy in this that he can say "To live is Christ; to die is gain." But now as we transition into v. 2, we read that something is lacking in Paul's joy. Join us this week as we learn what that something is and how our joy is made complete.
Philippians 1:27-30
Rev. Charlie Phillips
So far in Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi, he’s has talked a lot about his life—his prayers, sufferings, longings, and plans. But this week he turns his attention to the members of the Philippian church. How ought they to live in light of their circumstances—their sufferings, persecutions, internal struggles, and fears? Join us this week as Paul encourages believers, both then and now, to live out their faith in a non-believing 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 1:15-18a
Rev. Charlie Phillips
We know from history that the Apostle Paul had many enemies outside the church—people that sought his arrest and even his death. But often times we forget that he had enemies within the church—envious people that made trouble for him and even increased his suffering. Join us this Sunday as we glean Paul’s response to such troublemakers and examine our own motives for life and ministry.
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.
Philippians 1:9-11
Rev. Charlie Phillips
When’s the last time you assessed your vision for life? Do your everyday decisions, goals, and values align with that vision? And more importantly, do they align with God’s vision for your life? We don’t often think of it this way, but the way we pray is a good indicator of the direction we’re attempting to head. Join us this Sunday as Paul models what it looks like to pray God’s vision into play.
Philippians 1:3-8
Rev. Charlie Phillips
For the past three weeks we’ve discussed Westminster’s vision of cultivating joy in Jesus Christ in Hall County and beyond. Perhaps there’s no better book to follow up our vision series than Philippians—a letter from Paul that’s often called the most “joyful” book in the Bible. Join us this Sunday as we get a preview of what’s to come in the next six months at Westminster!
Philippians 1:1-2

2 Corinthians 8:1-15
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This Sunday will be the last in our mini-series on Westminster’s vision going forward. We will be focusing on the idea that true ministry is the mere overflow of our walk with Christ. But how do we overflow? What should our overflow look like? And how should it benefit the world around us? Join us as we take in God's vision for our lives!
Ephesians 4:1-16
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This past week we talked about Westminster’s vision going forward in 2023. In case you missed it, here it is: “Westminster Church exists to cultivate an overflowing joy in Jesus Christ in Hall County and beyond by connecting to Christ, growing in discipleship, and overflowing into ministry”. This week’s sermon will tackle our call to grow in discipleship. Join us as we dive into Ephesians 4:1-16!
John 15:1-11
Rev. Charlie Phillips
I’m excited to announce that we’ll be beginning a new sermon series on the book of Philippians in just three weeks! Philippians has been called the New Testament book of “joy” for generations, and I’m confident that we’ll find joy together in it during our study. I’m also excited to announce that until then we’ll be diving into a mini-series on the vision of Westminster Church. Join us this Sunday as we talk about “Connecting to Christ”!
Luke 9:57-62
Rev. Barr Overcast
New Years is a time when we set our sights on the year ahead and what we want this coming year to look like. We set our priorities and make our resolutions. Jesus tells us we should all have the same start to our list: to follow Him.
John 1:6-20
Rev. Charlie Phillips
If the highlight and focus of Christmas is the Incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then our worship and adoration of Him must be at the forefront. Why? Because that’s where our true Christmas hope, peace, joy, and love are found. We warmly invite you, your family, and friends to attend two services crafted to help us all enjoy our blessed Savior together. We’ll gather on Christmas Eve at 6pm for a service of carols and Scripture lessons. And on Christmas Day we’ll come together for our Sabbath worship at 11am. Please feel free to come as you are to both services. Children in pj’s are quite welcome!
John 15:12-17
Rev. Barr Overcast
It's the greatest commandment and the first of the fruits of the Spirit. According to the Beatles, it's "all you need," and according to the apostle Paul, it's the "more excellent way." Love. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the fact that at Christmas love came down.
