In this sermon, Pastor David Mathis expounds upon Philippians 3:9-11 in which Paul teaches justification by faith alone. We are fully accepted by God in Jesus, and we will one day fully know Jesus and be satisfied in him forever. We know Jesus even now, and we want to know him more. Knowing Jesus will change us. We become more like him. In triumph and sufferings – we want to echo Christ’s heart and mind.

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.
Our Homeland Now Is Heaven
May 5, 2024 • David Mathis • Philippians 3:20—4:1
In this sermon on Philippians 3:20-4:1, Pastor David Mathis expounds upon Paul’s contrast between enemies of the cross (v.19) and those who are friends of the cross and citizens of heaven. As Christians, our true place of belonging is in heaven and it is real, right now. We marvel at the power of our king, anticipate the spectacular upgrade of our bodies, and wait eagerly to see Jesus face to face.
Imitate Those Who Walk Well
April 28, 2024 • Mike Schumann
In this sermon, Pastor Mike Schumann expounds upon Philippians 3:15-19 in which Paul entreats the Philippians to think in a way that says: ‘I’m a member of God’s true people, because of Christ, who is my treasure. And I’m not there yet, but I am pressing on.’ A mature Christian thinks this way. Paul entreats us to imitate those who have walked the Christian life well.
