This is the Gospel

The gospel, with all its good news, revelations, and illumination, is not simply the door we walk through—it is the whole house. For the believer, it is where we spend th

Discipline

We must not be like those who have received the gospel but don't want to be inconvenienced with suffering or costly discipleship—resistant to obedience. We embrace discip

Deeper Still

We often look to others and their giftings and compare them to the ways God has wired us. We question our purpose and wonder if this is all there is. But the body can onl

Made Alive

Jesus makes the invisible God visible. He ranks above all creation, and no one is like Him. All things have been created through Christ and for Christ. He sustains us and

Grow & Gather

While the world offers disintegration, Jesus Christ provides soul-level integration. So we look to Him, and we labor to see Him rightly. We behold Christ in His glory, se

Discipleship

We belong to a vast, intricate web of discipleship. Today, we walk in faith because other believers were faithful in their day to disciple others. So we too press on, gro

"Make Disciples" Weekend Service

The kingdom of God does not advance through programs, but people. The priority and the focus of the Church today is to make disciples of Jesus. There is a litany of good

Contentment

Rejoice

Theology has to be lived out. It is lived knowledge, not knowledge for knowledge's sake. Paul has been unpacking humility, maturity, and faithful Christian living, and no

Balance

Like a boxer keeping step, making offensive advances and defensive counter steps, the believer works in balance. We are humble yet audacious. We forget what slows us down

Confidence

Putting no hope or assurance on human effort, we rejoice with the family of God and keep an eye out for those that would lead us away from the confidence we have in Him.

Fellowship

Paul, deeply encouraged by the church’s resilience and commitment to spreading the gospel, calls the Philippians into the next season of their ministry through the postur

In Every Season

Through drought and harvest, in mansions and in prisons, in every season, Christ is the ultimate gain, and the work is worth it.

Affection & Confidence

Paul begins his letter to the Philippians with deep gratitude, joy, and affection. He is confident that God will finish the good work He has started there among them. As

Fear of God

How might we stand in His holy place? We lay down idols. We remove any hindrance between God and us. We hate our sin and fear God. Give us clean hands and pure hearts, O

Single-Minded

Head knowledge does not lead to revival. It makes great kindling. It makes for a hoisted and ready sail. But we ask the Spirit of the Living God to be the fire and the wi
