Christ Church South Philadelphia

Sometimes the Bible is comforting, but sometimes it is challenging. It can be so easy to avoid the things in it that are hard, because we'd rather stay happy than pursue being holy. But what if God has more for us than the life we're settling for? This Sunday we are going to start looking at the story of Samson and in his brokenness, we will see our brokenness. And yet it is in that place...

The higher the stakes, the more important knowledge becomes. There is nothing higher stakes than our spiritual lives. So what does it look like to gain knowledge that can lead to our fullness and thriving? Join us on Sunday as we continue our series in the book of Judges and consider When Ignorance is Not Bliss

Grace is a familiar word, but do we really live in that good of it? If grace is amazing, then why do we so often carry guilt, angst, fear, and doubt? This Sunday we are going to see a story in Judges 13 that is all about grace, and my prayer is that we all will see a little bit more how grace can change everything.

What are there things that you want to change in 2024? What are your cycles that you want to see broken? Join us this Sunday as we pick back up in our series in Judges and consider what it says about Breaking Cycles. Can't wait to see you on the best day of the week!

What are you hoping for in 2024? Is there a God sized dream that's been birthed in your heart? Join us this Sunday as we consider the big things God wants us to prayer for and pursue in the upcoming year as we consider A Prayer for Revival.

How would your today be different if you knew what was coming tomorrow? Knowing the future would dramatically change the present, wouldn't it? Join us this Sunday, as we see the future that God promises to us and what that means for us now. Speaker: Pastor Caleb McCurley

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Except when it isn't. Sometimes all is not calm and all is not bright. And yet, there is a promise that Christmas gives us that can ground no matter how dark life might get. Join us for Christmas Eve at Christ Church as we Behold our Victorious King. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Often our understanding of God‘s forgiveness is just enough to vaccinate us against being able to actually experience the true depths of what it means. Join us this Sunday as we behold our forgiving king, and see how his forgiveness can change us from the inside out.

It is one thing to believe in God, but another thing to actually trust God. The bumps, bruises, and painful twists of life can sometimes cause one to wonder, does God actually care about me? Part of what the story of Christmas shows us is that not only does God care about us, but He understands us because He became one of us. Join us this Sunday as we experience the comforting reality of our Sympa...

What does Christmas mean to you? We can all have different experiences during the holidays. But here is what Christmas means to God; God is love. Christmas shows us that we do have a King and He has not abandoned us but has come into this world for us. Join us this holiday season at Christ Church as we Behold our King.

What if the hunger we can feel in our souls can only be satisfied by a greater fear of God? We think of fear as a bad thing, but the Bible says fear of God brings life, refreshment, and comfort to us. Maybe God means something different by fear than what we think? Join us this Sunday as we close our our Coram Deo Series and consider together what it means to live in the fear of the Lord.

We all like to experience good things in life. Yet so often our lives are filled with pain, challenges, and suffering. But what if there was a way to experience goodness even in the midst of trying times? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series on Living before the Face of God and consider what it means to live in the goodness of God.

Our spiritual lives are not just about what we do, but how we are. Not just doing, but being. Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series Coram Deo: Living before the Face of God as we consider how God wants to invite us into a life of deeper communion with Him.

God made us for more than going through life like it is a selfie. He made us to be consumed, not with ourselves- But with Him. The opposite of a selfie life is a Godward life. The early church fathers had a phrase for living a Godward life. They called it Coram Deo, which means living before the face of God. And so over the next few Sundays, we will go through different passages of Scripture that...

What if there is something more than this world that is obsessed with self? What if there is something more than just the world of "I"? What if we were made for more? This Sunday we continue our series in Judges and will see in Judges 8-9 how God wants the gospel to break into our "selfie" lives and show us something so much more amazing- The beauty of God's love.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by life? Is it all just too much? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Judges and see how the all powerful God meets us in our overwhelming need.

How do you struggle with insecurity? What can make you feel anxious, alone, and afraid? Join us this Sunday as we meet a character in Judges 6 who is full of insecurities. Through this story we are going to see how God's love meets us in our most vulnerable places. I can't wait to be with you on the best day of the week!

In the struggle that can often be our lives, can't we wish that there was someone who was willing to fight for us? When we can feel like we can't keep on keeping on, don't we long for someone to love us enough to be strong for us? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the book of Judges and in Judges 4-5 see the hope that God fights for us.

What does it mean to hear from God and how we can learn to listen better? This Sunday we are blessed to have Pastor Brian Key bringing a message from Psalm 19 entitled "Can you hear Him now?" In addition to being a pastor, Brian Key is also a professor of urban missiology at Grimke Seminary. You won't want to miss this!

Do you sometimes feel stuck in a rut? Are there struggles in your life that just keep repeating themselves? What if there was a way to experience more freedom? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series in the book of Judges and see how We need a bigger savior.

It is one thing to know about God, but another thing entirely to actually know God. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the wild book of Judges and see what God has to say about how we can know Him more.

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle that you'd love to break free from, but feel powerless to stop? Do you desire to experience more of God in your life, but you aren't sure how? Have you ever wondered if there was more to Christianity than just "doing the Christian thing?" This Sunday we are starting a new series in the book of Judges. It is a wild and in many ways disturbing bo...

What causes you to worry? What can make you feel discouraged? What eats away at your joy? Into whatever is getting you down, God has this word of promise for us- Grace Wins. Join us this Sunday as we finish our series "The Story behind the Song" and see the story behind Psalm 30 and how it gives us this sweet promise- Grace wins.

In His great love for us, God wants more for us than just knowing about Him. He wants us to experience deep, meaningful, and soul satisfying communion with Him. How can we experience that? How can we experience that especially in a life that can be full of so many challenging circumstances?
