    2026-08-23: Where the Gospel Goes - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    This final sermon in the Philippians series looks at Paul's short but weighty closing words, greetings extended to every believer by name and even into Caesar's own household. It's a reminder that the gospel is never contained, no matter the circumstances, and a direct charge for the congregation to consider where God is calling them to live and carry it this week.

    2026-08-16: The Secret of Contentment - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    In Philippians 4:10-20, Paul redefines contentment as a gift learned through experience and given by God, not conjured from within. Through the lens of the Philippians' sacrificial partnership, the sermon calls the congregation to participate in God's mission and trust God's promise to meet every need.

    2026-08-09: The Peace That Guards - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    Anxiety is not a modern invention, and Paul's letter to the Philippians offers a timeless path through it. From standing firm in conflict to praying with gratitude to guarding what fills our minds, Philippians 4:1-9 gives the church a practical and gospel-grounded response to anxiety. The promise at the center is not that circumstances will change but that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

    2026-08-02: Pressing On - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    Paul writes from prison as a man mid-race, not yet at the finish line, pressing on toward the goal Christ has called him toward. This sermon follows his movement from honest concession to forward-leaning hope, and challenges the congregation to forget what is behind, fix their eyes on their heavenly citizenship, and come to the Lord's Table as fellow runners still running the race.

  5. Jul 26

    2026-07-26: Garbage and Glory - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    Paul has the most impressive religious resume imaginable, and he calls it garbage. This sermon follows Paul’s journey from confidence in his own achievements to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, and challenges the congregation to honestly examine what they are trusting for their standing before God.

  6. Jul 19

    2026-07-19: Living Examples - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    As Paul sends Timothy and Epaphroditus back to Philippi, he offers the church two real-life examples of what it looks like to put others first and keep the gospel at the center. The sermon challenges the congregation to honor those who have poured into them and to consider how God is calling them to pour into others.

  7. Jul 12

    2026-07-12: Our Work, God's Work - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    Paul's call to work out our salvation with fear and trembling raises a question at the heart of the Christian life: how much is our effort and how much is God's? This sermon holds that tension and invites the congregation to faithful, joyful cooperation with God.

  8. Jul 5

    2026-07-05: The Christ Hymn: Part 2 - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

    Paul completes the Christ Hymn by announcing that because Jesus humbled himself to death on a cross, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name. Rooted in Isaiah 45, the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord is both a cosmic declaration and a daily posture, one that calls the congregation to seek neither power nor prestige but to humble themselves as Christ humbled himself.
