    No One Is Too Far Gone - Identity In Exile | A Study in Daniel - Week 4 | Tim Birdwell

    No one is too far gone for the grace of God. In Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar had power, influence, success, and a heart filled with pride. God humbled him, not simply to tear him down, but to bring him back to Himself. This week, we look at the lie of pride, the necessity of humility, and the scandalous grace of God. The same God who transformed Nebuchadnezzar is still making dead people alive today. Who have you stopped praying for? Who have you decided could never change? And have you forgotten that, apart from Jesus, you were once that person too?

    Even If He Doesn't - Identity In Exile | A Study in Daniel - Week 3 | Tim Birdwell

    What happens when God is able to deliver you... but He doesn’t? In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are given a choice: bow to the idol or face the fire. Their response reveals the kind of faith that doesn’t depend on circumstances: God is able. God can deliver. But even if He doesn’t, He is still worthy of our worship. This week, we look at the anxiety of idolatry, the peace of surrender, and the presence of God in the middle of the fire. Following Jesus doesn’t mean avoiding trouble; it means knowing we never walk through it alone. 📖 Daniel 3 Phoenix Bible Church Sundays at 9:00AM & 10:30AM 6060 N 7th Ave, Phoenix, AZ ______________________________________________________________________ Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

    But There Is a God - Identity In Exile | A Study in Daniel - Week 2 | Jeff Gokee

    What do you do when the situation in front of you feels impossible? In Daniel 2, Daniel faces a king who has made an impossible demand with deadly consequences. But instead of responding with fear, Daniel responds with wisdom, boldness, community, prayer, and trust in God. The same God who was sovereign in Babylon is sovereign today. When life feels uncertain, we don't have to be controlled by fear, culture, circumstances, or our own understanding. We can seek God first, trust His wisdom, and remember: there is a God in heaven. ______________________________________________________________________ Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

    When Life Gets Hard - Identity In Exile | A Study in Daniel - Week 1| Tim Birdwell

    What happens to your faith when life gets difficult? Daniel was taken from his home, placed in a culture that wanted to reshape his identity, and pressured to compromise his convictions. Yet Daniel didn’t escape Babylon, and he didn’t merely survive it. With God’s help, he thrived in it. In Daniel 1, we see three truths for following Jesus when life gets hard: difficulty doesn’t negate God’s sovereignty, difficulty doesn’t determine your identity, and difficulty doesn’t demand hostility. Whatever you’re facing, God is still working. You can live with conviction and kindness, trusting that your identity is secure in Him.

    Why The Bible? - The 66 books that will change your life. | Tim Birdwell |

    Why should we trust the Bible? In Psalm 119, we see that Scripture is more than a collection of encouraging verses or ancient religious writings. It is the most remarkable, reliable, and relevant story ever told; 66 books written across generations, cultures, languages, and genres, all pointing toward one Savior: Jesus Christ. Whether you’ve never opened a Bible, you’ve struggled to understand it, or you’ve known Scripture for years but grown cold toward it, this message is an invitation to approach God’s Word differently. The goal isn’t simply to read the Bible more. It’s to know the God of the Bible, allow His Word to transform us, and share that truth with the people around us. Because when the Word of God moves in imperfect people, lives change. Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.

    Formed for Relationship - Move To One | Week 2 | Tim Birdwell

    You weren’t created to follow Jesus alone. In Acts 2:42-47, the early church gives us a picture of what life with Jesus looks like: learning together, worshiping together, sharing life together, caring for one another, and carrying the gospel into the world. God formed us for relationship, but isolation, independence, distraction, and even church hurt can pull us away from the community we were made for. So who are your people? Who knows you, challenges you, prays for you, and walks with you? Maybe your next step is simple: Move to One.

    WHAT’S YOUR NEXT MOVE? - Move To One | Week 1 | Tim Birdwell

    What are you moving toward? It’s possible to be incredibly busy, have a full schedule, and still not actually be going anywhere. It’s also possible to have a clear vision for your life, but for that vision to be shaped more by culture, success, politics, or comparison than by Jesus. On Vision Sunday, Pastor Tim reminds us that Jesus has already given His Church the mission: make disciples who make disciples. At Phoenix Bible Church, that looks like loving Jesus, living like Jesus, and leading others to Jesus. We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus, and because He moved toward us first, we get to move toward Him and toward others. So what’s your next move? Maybe it’s joining a group. Serving on a team. Growing in generosity. Opening your home. Inviting someone to coffee. Or simply taking one faithful step toward Jesus. Don’t just attend church. Be part of what God is doing.

    The Myth of Work Life Balance - Everyday Faith | Week 4 | A.C. Caswell

    What if the most important thing about your work isn’t what you do, but how you do it? Colossians 3:23 reminds us to work heartily as for the Lord. Whether you’re leading a company, changing diapers, studying for class, fixing cars, or filling out spreadsheets, God can use the work in front of you to impact the people around you. In this message from Everyday Faith, we look at three ways to approach our work as followers of Jesus: Serve well. Rest well. Finish well. Our careers are temporary. Jesus is eternal. Because of Him, even ordinary work can become an opportunity to love people, serve faithfully, and make an eternal impact.Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona.
