Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Philippians 3:10-4:1

Paul describes what it means to “know Christ” and grow in his grace. Using the imagery of running a race, he urges the Philippian believers to move forward in their faith. Senior Pastor Jeff Manion asks four “disruptive” questions that help us see where we are at in the race: What do I want? How am I running? Who am I following? What am I waiting for?

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Philippians 2:4-11

This conversation centers around the person and work of Jesus. The solution for the church in crisis is humility. Jesus not only modeled humility but also revolutionized the way we consider humility. This week, our conversation revolves around what the example of Jesus means for our life and how a new song should stick with us.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Philippians 1:27-2:4

Paul’s letter to the Christians in Philippi reveals a church on the edge of disaster. The Apostle Paul has learned that this is a congregation in crisis and the spread of the gospel is at risk of stalling. Join us as we discuss the surprising way Paul coaches these young believers to set aside their differences and pull together for the sake of the gospel.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Philippians 1:12-26

Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through the section of Paul’s letter where he updates his friends in Philippi about his circumstances. He’s stuck waiting. His present situation is uncomfortable, and he face a fork in the road. How he describes his situation challenges us when we find ourselves stuck waiting. We often find ourselves stuck in a waiting room we didn’t choose and for an undetermined amount of time. Paul’s question helps reorient our approach to the waiting room.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Philippians 1:1-11

Pastor Jeff Manion unpacks Paul’s three reminders and his prayer for this struggling church in Philippians 1:1-11. Paul reminds the young community of their past faithfulness, their certain future and Paul’s deep affection for them. These reminders are timely for us, as they were for the Philippians. Paul prays the Philippians would have a smart love, pursue what’s best and be filled with the right fruit. Jeff challenges us to consider what it means for us to pray these things for ourselves and for others.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Aaron Buer, John Dickson Scripture: Acts 16:6-34

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Bob King, Aaron Buer Scripture: John 16:7-15

Student Ministries Pastor Aaron Buer helps us understand the gift of the Holy Spirit. In this conversation, we see four ways the Holy Spirit works in our lives. The Holy Spirit works in our lives by moving in, transforming us, persuading and guiding.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Bob King, Aaron Buer Scripture: 2 John 1-6

Pastor Bob King shows us how God is generous through his grace, mercy and peace. Through the writings of the apostle John, we learn what grace, mercy and peace are and how Jesus offers them to us. In addition, we see that we need to become people of grace and mercy because we have been shown grace and mercy. While being people of grace and mercy, we can have peace because we know Jesus wins in the end.

Speaker: Jeff Manion, Bob King, Aaron Buer Scripture: Acts 14:8-18

Senior Teaching Pastor Jeff Manion shows us how God is generous through the way he has revealed himself. Paul is trying to share the gospel in Lystra, a city steeped in the mythology of the Greek gods. Paul tailors his message to the audience, making a case for God by pointing to the goodness of God through rain, crops, food and joy. Through Paul’s message, we learn there is a connection between the goodness of our food and the kindness and generosity of God. In this conversation, we see how God has left trails leading to him.

Speaker: Bob King, Brad Holmes, Aaron Buer, Gary Burge, Kevin Harney Scripture: 2 Kings 22:1-20

Visiting pastor Kevin Harney leads us through the reign of King Josiah. The writer of 2 Kings says, “Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did” (2 Kings 23.25a). Kevin shares five truths that help us see how we can use Josiah’s life as a model to pursue God.
