What are you trusting in to make you right with God? In Philippians 3:1-14, the Apostle Paul strips away all human achievement, status, and religious resume, declaring them all as &#34;loss&#34; compared to the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus. Instead of chasing self-righteousness or living bound to the past, this message challenges us to drop our confidence in our own abilities and find our true identity solely in Him. No matter your past accomplishments or failures, the call of the Gospel is to forget what lies behind and press on toward the prize of the upward call of God. Join us as we explore what it truly means to live with the single-minded focus of pursuing Christ, experiencing His resurrection power, and walking in the deep joy of a relationship with Him.

In this message from Philippians 2:19-30, we explore the profound meaning of true partnership in Christ through the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus. The Apostle Paul presents these two faithful servants not just as companions, but as models of genuine concern, proven character, and sacrificial loyalty who put the interests of Jesus Christ above their own. By examining their deep commitment to the church and their willingness to risk everything for the sake of the ministry, this sermon challenges us to evaluate our own hearts and calls us to become true, selfless gospel partners in our churches and communities today.

In this message, we’re looking at Jeremiah 29:4-7 to talk about what it really means to love and invest in our communities. When the Israelites found themselves stuck in exile, God didn’t tell them to isolate themselves or give up. Instead, He told them to build houses, plant gardens, and work for the peace and success of the city around them. This message is a challenge for all of us to stop just trying to get by, start investing in our own neighborhoods, and realize that our own well-being is completely tied to the thriving of our city.

In this message, The Mind of Christ, we dive into Philippians 2:12-18 to discover how having the attitude of Jesus changes the way we live. The Apostle Paul challenges us to &#34;work out&#34; our salvation with reverence, reminding us that God is actively working within us to give us both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. By letting go of complaining and choosing humble obedience, we can truly shine like bright lights in a dark world. Speaker: Sara DavisMain Text: Philippians 2:12-18

What does it truly mean to live a life worthy of the gospel? In this sermon, we dive into Philippians 1:27 - 2:11 to explore Paul’s urgent call for the church to stand united and live out their faith. We look at what it means to face opposition together, lay down our pride, and adopt the radical humility of Jesus—who emptied Himself for us and was ultimately exalted by God.

What are you living for? In this message, we dive into Philippians 1:12–26, where the Apostle Paul writes from a Roman prison. Instead of complaining about his chains, Paul shows how God uses our hardest seasons and trials to advance the kingdom. Main Verse: Philippians 1:12–26Speaker: Bekka Woodley

This week we begin a brand new teaching series through the book of Philippians called Whatever Happens.Paul writes Philippians from prison, facing uncertainty about what comes next, and yet the letter is filled with joy, hope and confidence in God. Throughout this series, we’ll be looking at what it means to follow Jesus faithfully whatever happens around us and whatever season of life we find ourselves in.In this first message, we look at Philippians 1:1–11. Paul begins by thanking God for the Philippian church and for their partnership in the gospel. He reminds them that the work God has begun in them is not finished, and prays that their love would continue to grow in knowledge, wisdom and discernment.It’s an encouragement to trust that God is still at work in us, to recognise the importance of doing life and faith together, and to keep growing into the people Jesus is calling us to become.Whatever happens, we can have confidence that God has not finished His work.Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: Philippians 1:1–11

Why is it so easy to lose joy when someone else seems to be doing better than us?In John 3, John the Baptist is confronted with the fact that people are leaving his ministry and going to Jesus instead. It would have been easy for him to become insecure, competitive or resentful. Instead, John responds with remarkable freedom: “He must become greater; I must become less.”This message looks at the danger of comparison, why it has such power over us, and how knowing who we are and what God has called us to can free us from constantly measuring our lives against everyone else.Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: John 3

The Thief of Joy

Generosity is an overflow of joy and divine grace, rather than a forced obligation or a heavy burden. True giving, as illustrated by the early Macedonian believers, can thrive even in difficult times when it is fueled by a willing heart that views sharing as a privilege. This radical mindset is anchored in the ultimate model of Jesus Christ, who gave up everything out of love so that others could be enriched. Ultimately, giving flows from a ready and eager heart, focusing on mutual support and helping to meet the needs of others based on what a person realistically has to offer. ﻿Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

Are you ready to praise God with everything you have? In this powerful message, we dive into Psalm 100 to discover the true heart of worship.

True confession has the power to transform our deepest regrets into lasting joy.

In this message, Joni takes us through Psalm 16 and the fullness of joy found in God’s presence. David’s words remind us that lasting joy is not found in our circumstances, achievements or possessions, but in knowing God as our refuge, our portion and our hope. Even in uncertainty, we can trust that God is with us, guiding us on the path of life.
