One Thing!
January 22, 2023 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Philippians 3:8–16
In this sermon from the “My Favorite Verse” series, Pastor Neal looks at Philippians 3:8-16 to see the “one thing” of the Christian life—the pursuit of knowing and being known by the Lord Jesus Christ. In this pursuit, we are encouraged to pray for a willing heart and spirit, to look at and follow the example of Christ and other godly people, and to never give up! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
Five Marks of Christian Maturity
January 15, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Acts 20:17–38
In this first sermon from the “My Favorite Verse” series, Pastor Phil looks at Paul’s words to the church elders in Acts 20:17-38. In this passage, we see five themes that are marks of Christian maturity: the emphasis on relationships, service, proclamation of the gospel, sacrifice, and concern for not only our own Christian walk, but that of other believers. May we grow in each of these areas this year! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
