Paul looks at his life on this earth as a precursor to eternity. He does not get lost in worldly pursuits. The challenge given from the testimony of his life is to live continually with eternity in view.

What does Paul's example of pursuing Christ have for us today as believers? It is one thing to be saved yet another to live for Him. We often want the salvation of God, but not the life He calls us to. This bare minimum approach to the faith leaves us wanting more when God calls us to live out surrender.

People of the Word : If the Word of God stands forever, it is up to us and our decisions in life that determine whether or not we stand upon it, as our foundation.

During our Candlelight Christmas Eve service, men in our congregation gave Christmas devotionals to our children and families.

What does it really mean to catch a glimpse of Jesus at Christmas? What do the wise men have to teach us about honoring Jesus? This and more are our topics as we look back on the Christmas event together.

What does it mean to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling"? Listen as Pastor David Ashworth teaches on Philippians 2:12-18. To "work out your salvation" is not about people being saved but it is instructions on how saved people live out their salvation.

How far has the church traveled from Jesus' original intentions for His people? Maybe we are at a time to re-evaluate where we are as the modern church.

Listen as we finish up chapter 1 of Philippians. A few questions we should ask ourselves: Is your love for Jesus growing? Does obedience mark your actions in life? Do you love His Church? We will not only rise or fall as individuals. We will also rise or fall as the Church.
