Christ Church South Philadelphia

We all grow older, but as we age, what does it look like to grow in honoring God with our lives? What is the secret to living out our years for God's glory, and how does God's faithfulness enable us to live faithfully for him? Join us as we study Psalm 71 together and consider "Growing Old to the Glory of God." Speaker: Tucker Else

Welcome to Christ Church South Philly's Sunday Worship Service! Thanks so much for joining us! We live in a world that tells us that if we look within ourselves, we will find a reason for joy based on our worth and value. This can seem so natural, can't it? To find joy based on what we do and who we are. But is looking within ourselves really where our source of joy is found? Join us this...

What does it look like to truly live for Christ and his purposes and not our own? As Christians we are those who have been rescued and redeemed by Jesus and because of this are now called to live our lives for Him. Join us this Sunday as we look at Philippians 2:19-30 where we find two examples of what it looks like to live for the interests of Christ. Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

In a world where churches can find all kinds of different things to emphasize and focus on, how do we as a church know what we should be giving our attention to? What exactly is the mission that Jesus has given us? We are excited to have Pastor Peter Privitera with us this Sunday. He is the Senior Pastor of Crossway Church in Lancaster County, a church in our denomination, Trinity Fellowship Churc...

What do we do when life gets hard and trials catch us off guard? Is there hope that we can face what comes our way? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Matt preaches on 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 and hear about how through Jesus we can live with unshakeable hope no matter our circumstances. Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

In a world where so much goes wrong, how can we live lives not consumed with worry? What truths can help free us from anxiety over all we face? It is our joy to have Pastor Rob Chisholm come and preach on Matthew 6:19-34 as we consider Jesus’ teaching on how what we treasure is the secret to dealing with our worries. Speaker: Pastor Rob Chisholm

As Christian’s we are saved by grace and not works, yet our faith is supposed to be a faith that works. What does it look like to work out our faith in the everyday stuff of life? And where do we find the strength to do this? Join us this Sunday as we hear from Philippians 2:12-18 the incredible news that our God not only saves us but works in and through us as well! Speaker: Pastoral Resident Joe...

In our world of division and strife how can we experience true and lasting unity? How can we learn to put off pride and live in humility with one another? Join us this Sunday as we learn from the greatest example of humility our world has ever known. Speaker: Pastor Caleb McCurley

Most of us genuinely want to be known as humble people. But even that impulse shows our need for humility, doesn’t it? So what does humility actually look like? How do we grow in humility? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Matt preaches on Philippians 2:1–4, and we consider where true humility comes from and what it looks like. Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

We all have a desire to live lives that make a difference and count for something. But how do we actually do that? How do we live in such a way that what we do really matters? This week, we are excited to jump back into our series in Philippians. Join us this Sunday as we consider what it means to live a life worthy of the gospel. Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

What do we do when following Jesus gets hard? How do we stay on mission when we face challenges? Join us this Sunday as we consider how the Lord strengthens us to keep pursuing the mission in the midst of life's difficulties. Speaker: Pastor Doug Logan

A wise man once said "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." When you think about God what comes to mind? Do you see a God who is distant, perhaps even annoyed at you? Or do you see a God who pursues you relentlessly? Join us this Sunday as we consider the good news of a God who goes after those who aren't even looking for him. We are...

We are people made for love. Our hearts long for it. And yet, we can often be selfish and fail to love others as we ought. How do we become people of love who lay down our lives for others? Join us this Sunday as we explore how real love is only possible when we understand the transforming depths of the heart of Jesus for us. Speaker: Pastoral Resident Joe Catoe

In this world of brokenness we live in, does the message of Easter really make a difference? How does the resurrection life of Jesus have the ability to break into our lives in ways that transform us long after the holiday has passed? Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and see how it transforms us as we walk through hard things into people of greater hope, faith, and...

This Sunday we are honored to have Pastor Ian McConnell here with us to preach. If you don’t know Ian, he previously served as a pastor at our church and is now a pastor at Grace Church in Frisco, Texas as well as the president of our denomination Trinity Fellowship Churches. Speaker: Pastor Ian McConnell

Our friend, Erik McEntyre, will be preaching on the power of prayer. Erik is a pastor at Grace City Church of the Northeast, a church in our denomination located in Northeast Philadelphia. We are excited to hear him bring God’s Word to us, and we can’t wait to see you on the best day of the week! Speaker: Pastor Erik McEntyre

Why do you wake up and get out of bed in the morning? What is your life about? What is it going to count for? These are massive questions, yet few people take the time to consider them seriously. Without knowing why you exist, how can you know where you are going or what you should do? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Philippians and see how we were made on purpose for a purpose. S...

What if people tried to tear you down… and you still rejoiced? In Philippians 1:12–18, Paul is in prison while others preach with the goal of hurting him—and yet he says, “I rejoice.” How is that possible? Join us this Sunday as we see a path towards resilent joy. Speaker: Pastor Caleb McCurley

Life is not always happy. But what if there were a way to find joy even when life is hard? Join us this Sunday as we see Paul in a prison cell, yet full of joy nonetheless. Through his example, God gives us a surprising path to joy. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

This Sunday we’re kicking off a brand-new series in the book of Philippians. Often called Paul’s most joyful letter, Philippians mentions joy more than sixteen times. And honestly… couldn’t we—and our world—use a little more joy? Paul also talks a lot about unity. Couldn’t we use more of that, too? But more than anything, this letter points us to what it means to be in Christ. True joy. Real unity...

This Sunday we will have pastor and author Mez McConnell bringing the word. Pastor Mez grew up in one of the poorest and most dangerous parts of Scotland. His story is one of tragedy, agony, anger, and grace. Through our time of worship we will be reflecting on Christ’s heart for the least, the last, and the lost. His heart for all of us. Hope you can join us at 9am or 11am! Speaker: Pastor Mez Mc...

What do we do when our resolve runs out? When life feels overwhelming and we’re just trying to make it through, what do we do then? Join us this Sunday as we close out our "A Biblical Guide to New Year's Resolutions" series and consider together what it means to be Resolved to Persevere in Jesus. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What is your life building? What is it that is truly going to last? Join us This Sunday as we look at what Jesus is building and how He invites us in His great and eternal purpose. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Every day is filled with new concerning headlines, and our own daily challenges. This world is clearly broken. But what is God up to and what does that have to do with us? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series on A Biblical Guide to New Year Resolution's and consider what the Bibles about being Resolved to be on Mission with Jesus. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Waiting is hard. Whether it’s something small like waiting for our food to arrive, or something significant like waiting for our health to improve—no one likes to wait. But what if God was at work in our waiting? What if delays are never wasted? The Bible talks a lot about waiting, and says that it is actually a place in which we can find strength. How can that be? Join us this Sunday as we contin...
