Sunday, March 10, 2024 – Today’s message titled, “Maturing to God’s Standards,” continues in the study of Philippians 3. Pastor Mike discusses the difference between growing old and growing in maturity. They are not the same thing. One can grow old and not be mature, both physically and spiritually. God is not impressed with how old one is the day they die, but He is concerned with their maturity...

Sunday, March 3, 2024—We are continuing our study of Philippians 3, and the title of the message is “Hold On & Press Ahead.” Pastor Mike emphasizes Paul’s urging the church in Philippi to understand the importance of “holding on” to what Christ has taken us hold of: forgiveness of our sins, transformation into a new creation, and adoption into His heavenly family. In addition, Paul tells us to for...

Sunday, February 18, 2024 – Today’s message is continuing in our study of Philippians. It’s titled “Confidence in Relationship – Not Flesh.” Paul is making it very clear to his readers in Philippi and to us that it’s not what we do in our fleshly efforts that gives us confidence in Christ; it’s in our relationship with Christ that comes through the power of the Holy Spirit living within us that pr...

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - "It's not how one starts; it's how one finishes that counts." - have you ever heard that? Well, that's precisely the point of what we're talking about today. The title of the message is "Different Beginnings – Same Ending." We look at the lives of two men, Timothy and Epaphroditus. Their upbringings couldn't have been more different, yet God used them uniquely in His Ki...

Sunday, February 4, 2024 – We're continuing our study in Philippians, and the message title is "Grumbling Prevents Joy." Remember, the overall theme of Paul's letter to this church is one of Joy as we learn to live a Godly life. Our text today says we are "To do everything, without grumbling and arguing, so that we can become blameless and pure. As we discuss this, there is a lot to uncover that w...

Sunday, January 28, 2024 – Today is about the joy of working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Yes, that's right – we are to work out our salvation. Maybe you're saying this isn't true because we're saved by Grace through faith – so what is there to work out? I'm glad you're asking that because this is what this message is about. We need to understand better Grace to grasp what it means t...

Sunday, January 21, 2024 – Pastor Ryp gives the message he titles “Life’s Injustices.” This is a must listen, because we all have said at one time or another, life’s not fair, right? And you’re right, life’s not fair. When that injustice occurred, the question is: What did you do about it? How did you handle it? Did you take it into your own hands to administer justice? Did you take revenge? Pasto...

Sunday, January 7, 2024 – The message is about Unity and Humility: "Unity is impossible without Humility." How does that make you feel? This may not be one of those titles that encourages you to listen to the message, but this is an important one to understand. If we can pursue Christ-like humility, we can then begin to achieve the unity that both Paul and Jesus pray for in Christ's body, which wi...

Sunday, December 31, 2023 – New Year's Eve Sunday morning – the message title is "Reflecting and Proflecting." I know, I just made up a new word – Proflecting. What does it mean? When we 'reflect,' we look backward and think about the past, so it only makes sense then to 'proflect' would mean that we would look forward and think about the future. And that's what we're doing today, the last day of...

Sunday, December 24, 2023 – Christmas Eve – Our annual “Candles & Carols” service. This is a service for enjoying and celebrating the Christmas season through a number of our favorite Christmas songs and a few specials. My wife Chris and I are so pleased to have our grandchildren, Joelle, Mykah, Caiden, and Ebbele Wells, share Christmas specials in addition to our worship team, Jackie Boog and Tom...

Sunday, December 10, 2023 – We continue studying Paul's book to the Philippian church. The title is "Live as Citizens of Heaven." Citizenship in America has become a big topic in our political world today, as it should be; to be a citizen is an important identity. One becomes a citizen of a country in one of two ways: 1. Birth or 2. Naturalized through a legal immigration process. Citizenship come...

Sunday, December 3, 2023 – Today’s message is the 5th in our study on Paul’s letter to the Philippians, titled “God’s Purposes Bigger than Circumstances.” Paul shows us how to live above the circumstances of life by knowing his purpose in them and recognizing that God will complete what He wants accomplished. As a result, Paul can make some bold statements, like; “To live is gain, but to die is Ch...

Sunday, November 19, 2023 – We continue studying Philippians. Today's message is titled "From Idealistic to Realistic." Here's a question: When you listen to a pastor or bible teacher, are the messages so high, lofty, and "Idealistic" that they sound unachievable? If they are, do they become a rhetorical discussion without applicable application? If that's the case, how do we move from being "Idea...
