Philippians

Christ-Centered Contentment

January 28, 2024 • Jake Turner • Philippians 4:2–13

The importance of focusing on the eternal instead of the temporal is as much a struggle today as it has ever been. How do we focus on the eternal? How do we get close to God? Let's look to Philippians.

Knowing Christ

January 21, 2024 • David Conley • Philippians 3:7–14

It is important that we have a primary focus on knowing Christ if we want to live a Christ-centered life. Using the example of Paul, who wrote the letter to the Philippians from jail and prioritized knowing Christ over personal gain or seeking freedom, today's message emphasizes that Paul's focus brought him satisfaction, peace, and enabled him to overcome feelings of being overwhelmed.

Self-Giving Humility

January 14, 2024 • Jake Turner • Philippians 2:5–11

In this message, we see that Jesus modeled self-giving humility, depicted in Philippians 2, where Jesus identified with human life and became obedient to death. In our day-to-day, the challenge of practicing self-abandonment and servanthood is set by Christ's example.

Whatever Happens

January 7, 2024 • Jake Turner • Philippians 1

In today's message, we'll discuss the importance of prayer, singing, and community in the context of the Philippians' letter to Paul, as well as Paul's unwavering commitment to the gospel despite his circumstances. It is our prayer that you'll be encouraged to live out your faith courageously, engage in spiritual disciplines, and give sacrificially.
