Philippians - Maturing to God's Standards - PDF

Sunday, March 10, 2024 – Today’s message titled, “Maturing to God’s Standards,” continues in the study of Philippians 3. Pastor Mike discusses the difference between growing old and growing in maturity. They are not the same thing. One can grow old and not be mature, both physically and spiritually. God is not impressed with how old one is the day they die, but He is concerned with their maturity level. Why is that? We have no control over our aging process, but we have total control over our maturing process. The apostle Paul speaks about how we are to “hold on’ and “press ahead,” and that is precisely what it takes for us to mature in Christ. If you’re a believer, think about the “first love” you had in your early days. You were on fire and passionate about the things of God. Compare that to where you are today. Are you burning as brightly today as you were then? If not, why not? Maturing in Christ is not a dimming of one’s passion but an intensification and a deepening of one’s love and zeal. Do you like to be challenged in your faith? Then worship and study with us…

Philippians - Hold On and Press Ahead - PDF

Sunday, March 3, 2024—We are continuing our study of Philippians 3, and the title of the message is “Hold On & Press Ahead.” Pastor Mike emphasizes Paul’s urging the church in Philippi to understand the importance of “holding on” to what Christ has taken us hold of: forgiveness of our sins, transformation into a new creation, and adoption into His heavenly family. In addition, Paul tells us to forget our past and press on to our future. What are we supposed to forget about, and what are we to remember? We must get this right because the enemy is out to destroy us, and if we don’t forget about the things that hold us captive to him, we will struggle to move forward. Worship and study with us as we learn of the goodness of God…

Philippians - Confidence in Relationship - Not Flesh - Audio

Sunday, February 18, 2024 – Today’s message is continuing in our study of Philippians. It’s titled “Confidence in Relationship – Not Flesh.” Paul is making it very clear to his readers in Philippi and to us that it’s not what we do in our fleshly efforts that gives us confidence in Christ; it’s in our relationship with Christ that comes through the power of the Holy Spirit living within us that provides us with confidence. If any person has the justification to trust in himself to gain this confidence, it would be Paul. Yet, he says he considers everything he’s done in his pursuit of religion as garbage in comparison to the experience that happened to him when Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus in a blinding light. It’s that instantaneous revelation knowledge of who Jesus is and the relationship that HE provides that is the reason for confidence. There’s so much more we discuss here that is essential to our faith. Worship and study with us…

Philippians - Different Beginnings - Same Ending - Audio

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - "It's not how one starts; it's how one finishes that counts." - have you ever heard that? Well, that's precisely the point of what we're talking about today. The title of the message is "Different Beginnings – Same Ending." We look at the lives of two men, Timothy and Epaphroditus. Their upbringings couldn't have been more different, yet God used them uniquely in His Kingdom. I have no idea what your back story is, but I can assure you that God knows, and He can take whatever you're willing to give Him, and He'll make it into something great in His kingdom IF you're willing to give it to Him. It might take some work and commitment, but it's up to you. Remember, "It's not how one starts; it's how one finishes." If that's true, we must also realize that one can "start great and finish poorly," right? So, this message is an encouragement and a warning at the same time for us to guard our hearts and minds so that we live well and finish strong…

Philippians - Grumbling Prevents JOy - PDF

Sunday, February 4, 2024 – We're continuing our study in Philippians, and the message title is "Grumbling Prevents Joy." Remember, the overall theme of Paul's letter to this church is one of Joy as we learn to live a Godly life. Our text today says we are "To do everything, without grumbling and arguing, so that we can become blameless and pure. As we discuss this, there is a lot to uncover that will bring us Joy and make us stand out in a dark and twisted generation. We will be a much better version of ourselves when we understand one of the major things we must do "To become blameless – we must blame-less."
