    Time to Grow Up: Maturing in Christ

    When we begin following Jesus, we’re much like newborn babies—but just as babies grow and mature, so should we in our walk with Christ. In this week’s message from Philippians 3, Pastor Curtis reveals four marks of maturity in Christ, and—spoiler alert—it begins with being honest enough to admit that we haven’t arrived. It’s only when we’re willing to do this that we can direct our focus toward the one thing we must pursue: knowing and following Jesus with everything we have.

    Résumé for the Good Life

    One of the most important parts of applying for a job is presenting an impressive résumé. After all, your résumé is essentially an argument for why you are the best candidate for a particular job. In this week’s message from Philippians 3, Pastor J.D. takes us through the Apostle Paul’s résumé before he met Jesus. As impressive as it was, Paul counted it as rubbish compared to the joy of knowing Jesus. And in the end, as he reminds us, even our best earthly accomplishments don’t contribute anything to our acceptance in the sight of God—and that’s a good thing.

    You Can’t Stream Community

    It can be easy, particularly in a large church, to slip in and out unnoticed and never truly experience community. But when we do this, we are missing out on how God intended his church to function: as a family. In this week's message from Philippians 2, Pastor Bryan shows us just how vital this sense of community is, and how we each play a role in creating and sustaining it. As Christians, there really is nothing that quite compares to the bond we share through the gospel of Jesus.

    Work It Out

    The Apostle Paul’s charge to “work out your own salvation” can, at first glance, seem contradictory to the idea that our salvation is something that can’t be earned. But when we read the rest of the sentence, we see that what Paul is talking about is the process of sanctification, where God continues to work in us throughout our entire lives. In this week’s message from Philippians 2, Pastor Curtis helps us unpack the practical implications of this rich theological truth. Yes, salvation is a gift we receive—but it’s also a life we live.

    The Good Life ROI

    As Christians, the love that we have received from God is, in the words of hymn writer Frederick Lehman, “greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell.” But God doesn't give us good gifts with the intention that we keep them to ourselves. In this week's message from Philippians 2, Pastor John helps us see that a proper response to God's love and grace is to, well ... do something. What exactly that something is may vary depending on our passions and areas of gifting, but it is the love of Christ that compels us to be a blessing to others in whatever way we can.

    The Good Death

    The book of Philippians is full of paradoxes, one of the most profound being how Paul experiences true freedom even while in chains. His confidence, after all, was never in the possibility of God changing his circumstances, but in God sustaining him no matter what. In this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor Curtis reveals three more aspects of “the good life,” a life that makes sense only when our perspective is the same as Paul’s: To live is Christ, and to die is gain.

    The Bottom Line to Everything

    When we consider some of the great missionaries of the past, whether the Apostle Paul himself or people like Adoniram Judson and William Carey, we often wonder how they endured under such difficult circumstances. Not only that, but how could they possibly be joyful in the midst of these trials? In this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor Bryan shows us that what these heroes of the faith had in common was a radical perspective: Everything in life is an opportunity to advance the gospel. Whether in the marketplace or overseas, we all have a call to live on mission for God.

    GLP-0: Paul's Rx For The Good Life

    You’d think that someone sitting on the cold stone floor of a Roman jail cell would be the least likely to pen a letter overflowing with joy and gratitude—but that’s exactly what the Apostle Paul does with his letter to the church at Philippi. And in this week’s message from Philippians 1, Pastor J.D. explains how gratitude is one of the secrets to the “good life” that Paul illuminates for us. Gratitude, of course, doesn't always come naturally. It isn’t merely a feeling that comes and goes, but a practice that we can—and must—intentionally cultivate.
