Philippians 2:14-18 | As Christians, are we ever encouraged to boast?

Philippians 2:12-14 | On this first Sunday of 2026 we get to hear from "the professor" as he teaches us how to read our Bibles for all they are worth. He will do this while simultaneously unpacking a historically "pointy" passage, wrought with all sorts of landmines. It just happens to be the next verse we encounter in our study of Philippians, chapter 2. So what does Paul mean -- and not mean --...

Christmas Eve 2025 | What a Strange Story... but does the story's strangeness actually give us evidence of the story's trueness?

The Coming of Strange Love is an Advent sermon that explores the unexpected, disruptive, and transformative love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. As we prepare our hearts during the Advent season, this message invites us to reflect on a love that does not arrive gently or predictably—but enters the world in humility, sacrifice, and grace. Drawing from Scripture and the themes of Advent, this sermo...

What makes the Joy of Christmas different than other joys? — Advent 2025 Week 2 | Philippians 2:15

Peace — Advent Week 1 | Philippians 2:12–18 | Pastor Ryan explores what it means to shine like stars in the world as Paul writes in Philippians 2. Through the biblical vision of Advent, we discover that Jesus is not only the Light who came and the Light who will come again—He is the Light who is still present now through His people. This message unpacks the deep, ancient concept of shalom—not just...

Philippians 2:5-11 -- This Sunday we get to PART THREE of our deep-dive into the famous "Christ Hymn" of Philippians 2:5-11. Last week we looked at the slow down, down, down of the unfathomable descent of Christ into ultimate humility for LOVE (listen here if you missed). HOWEVER... the story of Jesus never ends in the grave, it ends in His resurrection, ascension and exaltation! So this Sunday we...

Philippians 2:5-11 -- This Sunday, We will have a third part to follow which allows us to slow down, down down as we focus the week on the unfathomable descent of Christ into ultimate humility for our sake. If you ever struggle to know how much God loves us, this would be a good week to pay extra close attention.

Enjoy the Swim! A song created to help us memorize the Christ Hymn in Philippians 2:5-11. You can her the sermon that inspired this song here

We can't wait to explore the Christ Hymn found in Philippians 2:5-11 together and see how it will give us the needed framework to even begin to live out God's command to "consider others as more important than yourselves."

We're excited to kick off a fresh round of consideration in our time together as we explore another great idea of Scripture found in Philippians 2:1-4. Where does Christian Unity come from anyways?" AND What does it mean to "consider one another as more important than yourselves?"

This Sunday we get to consider another great idea of Scripture found in Philippians 1:27-30. How do we "live life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ?" AND What does it mean to be a "live as a citizen of heaven?"

To Live Is Christ | Philippians 1:18–26 In this message, we look at Paul’s striking words: “To live is Christ, to die is gain.” From a prison cell, Paul writes with unshakable joy and purpose—showing us what it means to live fully for Jesus no matter the circumstance. We’ll explore how his perspective reframes both life and death, calling us to honor Christ with our whole selves and to find deep m...

This week we focus on Philippians 1:12-18, where we get to unpack Paul's amazing statements about how to understand some of those moments in life that are hard to explain. Why would God allow this or that to happen? Why wouldn't God want so and so to be free and clear to take the gospel here or there? Why do some people who seem to be motivated by selfish ambitions always seem to be so unencumbere...

Join us this week to take a closer look at Paul's prayer in Philippians 1:7-11

As we continue to get situated in our NEW sermon series in the book of Philippians, we're excited to look more deeply at this important idea in chapter one, verse 6: "he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." What does this really tell us about God's work in us and in the world?

What is the nature and indications of Grace-based partnerships? We will be diving into this amazing question on Sunday and seeing how, for Paul, partnership in God‘s way led him to immense joy. So, WHY do our partnerships (and friendships) often end in something far from joy? Is there a word of wisdom that Paul expresses which might give us some insight? I’m excited to consider these questions wit...

Welcome to our new sermon series on the Book of Philippians! We're introduced to this important letter written by Paul and Timothy to the early church in Philippi, the first European church and a Roman colony. We explore the deep meaning behind being "servants of Christ Jesus," the significance of Christian identity as saints "in Christ," and the central theme of joy even amid suffering. We'll unc...

We’ve got a lot of new things to share with you this Sunday. First, and foremost, your ears may hear something surprising as we installed our brand NEW Sound System this week! This milestone marks countless hours of individuals from our community getting us ready for this install (special shout out to Thom & Ryan). This will make the making of sweet music to the Lord even sweeter than it already i...

We're stoked to gather and sing praises with you this Sunday, which turns out is what Psalm 149 is all about! Well, at least half of our Psalm is about that. To understand the other half we're really going to have to pop the hood on how we interpret the bible anyhow. How are we to make sense of these ancient texts? What are the tools that enable us to bring Jesus into the picture? Does EVERY passa...

Dive into Psalm 136—the “Great Hallel”—a powerful psalm of thanksgiving that celebrates God’s faithful love through creation, the Exodus, and every generation. In this sermon, we explore its timeless refrain, “His faithful love endures forever,” and draw fresh connections between biblical worship and storytelling styles—even referencing Tim McGraw’s Don’t Take the Girl to highlight the power of re...

In this teaching, we explore Psalm 123 within the broader context of the Psalms and Israel’s history. Spanning over a millennium, the 150 Psalms were carefully curated into five books, each reflecting key moments in Israel’s journey. Psalm 123 resides in the fifth and final book, known as the Psalms of Ascent, which captures the experience of God's people returning from exile to rebuild Jerusalem...

Today, we get to see the connection in a God-ordained process by which God is lifted high and we are changed. This process included three great "E" words: EDUCATION EXULTATION EXALTATION I look forward to considering these connections and how skipping any on of these steps could really derail our praise and prayer. It should be fun! * SPOTIFY MUSIC PLAYLIST -- https://tinyurl.com/fkzpkjwh * SERMON...
