Pastor Chris walks us through Philippians 4 as he shows us the secrets of Paul's joy-filled life. Keep your joy tank full, turn your worry into prayer, you don't always have to understand to receive and keep your thoughts in check. "When you are united with the anointed one, you rely on your heavenly nature, not your human nature."

Pastor Sam leads us through Philippians 3 and describes how to live a life that counts. "Giving up everything to gain Christ is really giving up nothing to gain everything!"

Pastor Chris walks us through Philippians 1. He discusses how Paul was a prisoner of joy regardless of his circumstances or surroundings. We need to have joy in prayer and joy in the process. Joy can remain when happiness is fleeting.

Pastor Roger brings a good word about serving. He asks four questions: Who am I serving? Why do I serve? What does it mean to serve? and How does this apply to me? "Your worship must be authentic, and the same goes for your serving."

Pastor Chris walks through Luke 9 to show us how to connect. There are three things that must be present if we're going to connect with God's vision for NCC. First, we must connect with the cost. Second, we must connect with the mission. Finally, we must connect with the process. "The Kingdom is not being served if you are not being equipped."

Pastor Sam brings a word on staying instead of running or moving on your own. He talks about how we need to stay close to the Father and focus on His presence. We need to stay faithful in His process and stay fastened to His promises.

Pastor Chris brings a good word on the decision to go. He walks through different instances in the Bible where individuals were told to go. Through each story in the Bible, we find that we need to go with faith, courage, confidence and purpose.

As we get ready to reveal the new Shepherds in our church, Pastor Chris describes the characteristics of a shepherd. A shepherd must be bold, spiritually sensitive, must seek Jesus and be quick to obey. Most importantly, a shepherd must know it's all about Jesus.
