Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 2:19-30, titled “Christian Altruism.” How do we avoid burnout when caring and giving? Christians are called to share time and money with those in need. But how do we do this without giving up? In this passage we find where the strength comes from to truly care.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 2:12-18 titled, "On Your Own." How much hovering is needed to make sure people we love are good Christians? How much do we need for ourselves? How do we let go and let God work? When God does the work, we begin to shine like stars.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 2:5-11, titled “Jesus’ Song.” If someone were to produce a song about you and your entire life, what would be included? Would others be able to identify with it? Sunday morning we look at a song written about Jesus. And we see the call to make that our song too.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 1:27 – 2:4, titled “Christian Unity." A sign of mature Christians is that they get along with each other and are united. But how do we achieve that? Especially when we all believe our way is the best way! May God give us listening hearts as he calls us again to unity.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 1:19-26, titled “To Live, or to Die." Is it healthy to want to live and want to die, at same time? For a Christian it can be. We maintain a healthy balance by being anchored in Christ.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 1:12-18, titled “Whatever It Takes." Could being falsely accused and going to prison be better? Could leaders of other churches stealing our sheep be a good thing? Could whatever struggle we’re going through right now actually be for the best? In this passage we see how God works in ways that may not make sense to us right now. But in the end we can say it was good.

Welcome Pastor John Gorter for his first sermon as our interim pastor! Over the next few months, he will guide us through the Book of Philippians, beginning with a message from Philippians 1:1-11, titled ‘Maturing in the Gospel.” What goals would an interim pastor have for a congregation? In Philippians we see the special relationship Paul had with the Philippian church and how he wanted them to grow as Christians. May God similarly gift us with close bonds. And may we mature in the gospel: to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ.

Pastor Evan Kim has a message from Ephesians 5:15-21 titled "Walking the Walk". The Bible commonly regards the Christian life as a “walk.” Employing that analogy, Paul exhorts Christians to live a life walking in the Spirit by being mindful of our time, our words and our attitudes. Doing so will help us to be established in the truth that God is always walking with us.

Pastor Joy Englesman has a message from 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 and Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 titled “Flying in Formation”. What does it mean for Christians to “encourage one another?” As we discern God’s direction for our personal lives and the ministry of our church, we find strength, support, inspiration and strategy when we fly in formation with each other.

Pastor Rob Byker has a message from Acts 12:1-19, “Surprised by Prayer”. Even though the church of Jerusalem prays for God to deliver Peter out of prison, they are shocked when God does it and Peter stands before them free! This shows us that even when we pray, there is often some levels of unbelief in us when we pray. Some Christians notice this and then pray more, praying for better faith. Other Christians notice this and stop praying altogether. We need to avoid that response at all costs. Prayerlessness is a serious sin and our Lord Jesus charges us to “always pray and not give up.” In this message, we will address some barriers to prayer as well as look at some truths that help us to return to prayer again.
