Unpacking the heart of Philippians 1:12-18.1. They become channels for the gospel!2. They unleash bold witness in others!3. They expose hearts, yet Christ is proclaimed!

Finding joy in the proclamation of the gospel in all situations.

LAKE TRAVIS - Paul’s letter, written from prison, challenges us to find joy in Jesus, not in our circumstances. We kick off our series on the book of Philippians by covering:

1. Our identity is found in Christ, not in our culture, career, or failures.

2. Gospel partnership goes deeper than friendship—it’s a Spirit-forged fellowship in mission. The Philippian church started with diverse backgrounds united by grace, and we’re called to join in the mission shoulder-to-shoulder, not just as spectators.

3. True gospel partnership creates deep bonds of love that transcend circumstance, reflecting Christ’s own affection.

4. Spiritual growth is measured by love that abounds with discernment, leading to fruitful lives that bring glory to God.

As a church, we need to embrace a vision "Beyond the Walls"—to step out in faith, serve, give, and pray for God’s kingdom to advance.

As we finish the book of Jonah we examine Jesus' statement in Matthew 12 that "something greater than Jonah is here." Jonah ran from the city of Nineveh, but we are called to go to every single Nineveh. So we look at Jonah vs Jesus, and our call today, weaved into our response to the tragic deaths of Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and challenges with the economy and our church finances.

What does it mean to 'walk with the Holy Spirit'? Is the Christian life merely 'sin management' or something more?

God's mercy extends to all, even those we might not expect or desire Him to bless. This challenges us to align our hearts with God's compassionate nature, rather than holding onto anger or narrow perspective.

Jonah was offended when God was full of grace toward those Jonah hated.

Restoring three things back to the church:

1. The preeminent pursuit of Jesus.

2. Returning to the biblical church design.

3. The call of God to the nations.
