Christ-Centered Joy

March 8, 2020 • Pastor Ben Cross

This message, we will start a new series on the New Testament book of Philippians. In this brief, but powerful letter, the apostle Paul teaches his close friends how to live anxiety-free, joy-filled lives, even in the middle of life’s most difficult times.

Read Philippians 1:1-11 for this message.

Christ-Centered Friendships

June 21, 2020 • Pastor Ben Cross

This sermon, our message from Philippians will be about Christ-centered friendship. Especially now more than ever right now, friendships and relationships are something we can’t take for granted. In times of difficulty, friends can make all the difference. We see that in Paul’s life throughout the many trials he experienced. We’ll see in Philippians that Paul's friendships were a huge part of his ability to thrive in trials and were core to his effectiveness in ministry. Read Philippians 4:10-23 for this message

Christ-Centered Peace

June 14, 2020 • Pastor Ben Cross

This message we’ll continue in our study of Philippians. The big idea of this whole book is Paul encouraging us to stand firm, even when things around us are uncertain. What a perfect book for us to be studying in 2020! We’re starting into Chapter 4 of Philippians this sermon, in which we learn that as Christians we have everything we need to stand firm in an uncertain world because of knowing Christ and being found in Him. Read Philippians 4:1-9 for this sermon

Christ-Centered Perseverance

May 31, 2020 • Pastor Ben Cross

This sermon in Philippians is all about perseverance. It’s amazing how the Bible is so timeless and relevant to life today, in ways we couldn’t have even pictured when we planned this series on Philippians. As we finish chapter 3 of Philippians, Paul reminds us to follow his example. He reminds us that we are citizens of heaven, and we have a place with God beyond this life. It’s living with this perspective that allows us to persevere with our eyes fixed on God….no matter what comes our way. Read Philippians 3:15-4:1 to be ready for this message.
