The Christian life takes practice-not as a way of earning God's favor, but as part of receiving His gift of grace. As Paul's letter to the Philippians begins to wrap up, he gives them a few things to practice. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us understand why practicing reconciliation, joy, gentleness, prayer, and focus matter, and how such practices are even possible.

What do we hope for? Much of our conversation about hope is anchored in this life, but what about our hope for afterlife? This week Pastor Jason Jackson looks at the substance of Paul's hope in his letter to the Philippians. As he awaits trial and faces the possibility of execution, Paul is filled with hope. Hope for life after death, and hope for life after life after death. The hope of heaven and beyond that the hope of resurrection. As followers of Jesus, this is our hope as well.

What is the goal of the Christian life? Is it better behavior? Is it a better eternal future? While these may certainly be results, they are not the actual goal. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see why knowing Jesus was Paul's prize and pursuit.
