In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Philippians 3:3-9 in which Paul counts everything as loss because of Christ. Jesus Christ is the only true savior. We cannot be righteous by our own merit. The only way God accepts you is by looking at you and seeing something not of you. Jesus is the only one who gets you God, if it’s God that you want.

In this sermon on Philippians 4:8-9, Pastor Mike Schumann expounds upon Paul’s exhortation to think about the things that are worthy of praise. In a world that gets it backwards, we should think about these things because setting our minds upon these things will build our character and, like Paul, our identity will be as Jesus worshippers, joyful servants, generous disciplers, and welcoming witnesses.
Character Matters

In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon Philippians 4:4-7 in which Paul exhorts us with three character qualities – joy, gentleness, and peace. We want to be a people growing in spiritual joy, obvious gentleness, and an inner peace. And it’s because of Christ Jesus that we are able to do so. It’s because of God’s love that he is still working on us.
Agree in the Lord

In this sermon on Philippians 4:2-3, Pastor Jonathan Parnell highlights three observations in these verses that are relevant for our life together as a local church. With the disagreement between Euodia and Syntyche, Paul teaches us that local church unity really matters, it is owned by everyone, and local church members’ names are written in the book of life.
