Phoenix Bible Church Sermons

Worship is not something I turn on and off. Psalm 95 reminds me that I am always pouring myself out somewhere. My time, attention, energy, preferences, and heart are always aimed at something. The invitation is simple and searching: come before the King. Not with perfect worship, but with a surrendered heart. Want to listen to our new song, Come Be For The King: https://youtu.be/4iubVfoHnvo Phoeni...

How is your soul? In Psalm 46, God does not call us to ignore the chaos around us or pretend everything is fine. He calls us to be still and know that He is God. True soul care is not simply slowing down, taking a break, or escaping the noise. It is surrendering our whole soul to the God who is our refuge, strength, fortress, and present help in trouble. This week, Pastor Tim walks through Psalm 4...

What transforms an unlikely group of people into an uncommon church? In Philippians 4:10–23, Paul reveals the answer: enduring, sacrificial gospel partnership.

It also uncovers the true meaning of Philippians 4:13: Christ strengthens His people to endure every circumstanc...

What is stealing your peace? In Philippians 4:1–9, Paul shows us that biblical peace is not pretending everything is fine or waiting for every problem to disappear. Peace is found in the presence of Christ; and it meets us in real life, with real conflict, real anxiety, and real thoughts that need to be brought under the truth of God. This message looks at three peace killers: unaddressed conflict...

What if the greatest danger is not failure, but succeeding at the wrong things? In Philippians 3:12–4:1, Paul gives a clear picture of the Christian life: press on toward Christ. Not toward comfort. Not toward comparison. Not toward past success or shame. Toward Jesus. This sermon walks through five ways we can waste our lives: choosing the wrong finish line, thinking we’ve already arrived, stayin...

What if the things you are holding onto are keeping you from the One who is infinitely better? In Philippians 3, Paul looks at his religious resume, his success, his status, and his righteousness, and counts it all as loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ. This sermon reminds us that joy is not found in perfect circumstances, salvation is not found in religious performance, a...

In Philippians 2, Paul gives the church two examples of faithful gospel living: Timothy and Epaphroditus. One becomes a trusted leader in the church; the other appears as an ordinary member willing to risk his life to serve Paul and strengthen the mission of the gospel. This sermon looks at what life together actually requires: relationship and risk. Real discipleship takes time, teamwork, and pat...

The world is dark, but the church is called to shine. In Philippians 2:12–16, Paul reminds followers of Jesus to work out their salvation, do all things without grumbling, hold fast to the word of life, and shine as lights in the world. This message challenges us to stop blending into the darkness, stop shouting at the darkness, and start carrying the light of Jesus into the places God has placed...

What does true unity actually look like? In Philippians 1–2, Paul reminds the church that the gospel creates family out of strangers.

What if your life felt unshakable… no matter what happened? In Philippians 1:19–30, Paul writes from prison with confidence, courage, and joy.

We all long for connection—but so much of what we build our lives on doesn’t last. From shared interests to temporary experiences, it can leave us still feeling alone. In Philippians 1, we see a different kind of community—one rooted in the gospel. A deep connection marked by love, joy, and partnership in Christ. This message explores how we were created for something more: real, lasting community...

What’s growing in the garden of your mind? In this message, we walk through Romans 12:2 and Psalm 42 to discover how God brings healing to our mind, heart, and soul. We are constantly being shaped—either by the world or by the truth of God. Jesus didn’t come for part of you—He came for all of you. This sermon explores:How to express real emotions before God Why your thoughts matter more than you t...

“You were dead.”That’s how Ephesians 2 describes life apart from Christ—and it’s more real than we often want to admit. This message walks through the weight of sin, the brokenness of our world, and the emptiness we try to fill on our own. But the story doesn’t end there.“But God, being rich in mercy…”Through the cross, Jesus brings the death of death and offers new life, forgiveness, and hope to...

Easter isn’t just a tradition—it changes everything. In this message, we look at Luke 24 and Ephesians 2 to answer one question: why does Easter actually matter? From suffering and brokenness to justice and new life, the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into the real pain and questions we carry. Because He is not here—He has risen. Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of...

What do you do in the silence? In today’s Holy Week devotional, we reflect on Holy Saturday—the day in between the cross and the resurrection. Jesus was in the tomb. The disciples were left in confusion, grief, and waiting. This moment invites us to slow down, sit in the tension, and remember that even when it feels silent… God is still at work. As we prepare for Easter, don’t rush past this. Phoe...

Before the cross… there was a table. In today’s Holy Week devotional, we reflect on the Last Supper and the meaning behind communion—Jesus’ body broken and His blood poured out for us. This moment wasn’t just remembrance… it was a promise. As we move closer to Good Friday, take time to slow down, reflect, and remember the sacrifice that changed everything.

What happens when we fail Jesus? In today’s Holy Week devotional, we look at Peter’s denial—and the reality that even those closest to Jesus can fall short. But that’s not the end of the story. This episode is a reminder that failure doesn’t define you. Jesus restores, forgives, and calls you to follow Him again. As we move closer to the cross, come honestly and let His grace meet you. Phoenix Bib...

What does it mean that Jesus wept? In today’s Holy Week devotional, we look at Luke 19 and the moment Jesus weeps over Jerusalem—right after being celebrated as King. Even in the middle of praise, Jesus saw hearts that were missing Him. This episode is an invitation to slow down, be honest, and let Jesus search your heart as we prepare for Good Friday and Easter. Phoenix Bible Church is a church i...

Palm Sunday isn’t just a moment—it’s a mirror. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd celebrates… but they misunderstand who He truly is. Just days later, praise turns to “crucify Him.”In this message, we’re invited to wrestle with the same question:Who is Jesus to you? Is He who you want Him to be… or who He truly is? This message helps us prepare our hearts for Holy Week—leading us to surrender, r...

Holy Week starts here. In this first episode, we walk through the Triumphal Entry and what it means that Jesus entered as a humble King… fully knowing what was ahead. This week is about preparing our hearts—not just for Easter Sunday, but for what Jesus has done for us. Take a few minutes today to slow down, reflect, and fix your eyes on Him. Love Moves. ✝️Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the h...

In this message from Song of Songs 7, we talk about love, intimacy, and God’s design for sex. Not as something shameful—but as something sacred, powerful, and meant for good. Sex isn’t just physical; it’s deeply spiritual. And when it’s placed in the right context, it brings life, connection, and joy. No matter your past, there is grace, healing, and freedom in Jesus. 🙌 Phoenix Bible Church is a...

What is love, really? In this message from Song of Solomon, we look at the power of covenant love, why love should not be awakened before its time, and how real relationships are formed through commitment, community, healing, and the love of Jesus. This sermon is both honest and pastoral, reminding us that love is more than emotion; it is shaped by holiness, strengthened in suffering, and sustaine...

Dating is complicated; Scripture doesn’t avoid it. In Song of Songs 2:8–3:5, we see that love moves with pursuit, brings life and flourishing, and has wisdom for singleness and dating. This message walks through what to look for in a relationship (Christ, character, chemistry), why community + time matter, how to bring kindness + clarity to dating, and why we don’t want to “awaken love before it’s...
