Money can bless a friendship but it can also hurt a friendship.  We might lend and help with another’s expenses freely and with joy… but then there comes a point where the joy and freedom ends.  What happened?  What went wrong?  Today we look at how Paul speaks to his friends about their financial help to him.  Let’s join today’s message.

The book of Philippians has repeatedly told us to rejoice, to have joy!  But, how do we do that?  How make that happen in our life?  Just saying it doesn’t reduce worry and anxiety.  In this next chapter, Paul tells us what we need to do to make joy a reality in our life.  Let’s join our service together.

When you think about where you are in life, what was the price you paid to get there?  Did you pay it willingly?  Did you know where it would take you?  In today’s passage, we consider what the price is to trust Jesus, but also to know the price is where joy is found.  Let’s join Curtis as we begin.

Sometimes we encounter little passages in the Bible that make us wonder why they are there or what we are to do with it.  In the middle of Paul’s letter to the Philippians he talks about his plans for Timothy and Epaphroditus.  We might just skip over their travel plans as being irrelevant for us.  But Paul spends time talking about them for a reason.  Let’s join our services as we consider this passage together.

Philippians chapter 2 contains a famous and deeply loved poem or hymn about Jesus. It starts, “Though Jesus was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.” How does this fit into the conversation about being a citizen of heaven and caring for folks at church? Let’s look at this passage together and reflect on its meaning.

As we continue looking at the first chapter of Philippians, Paul will give his friends an update on how he is doing. But remarkably, instead of giving details on things that are frustrating... he speaks with joy. Abounding with joy. How can that be? Being in prison without having committed a crime would normally leave a person incensed at the injustice. Let's see what is driving Paul’s experience.

Have you every found yourself in a situation where being a Christian makes life harder for you? How do you live as a Christian in a setting where other folks are against your faith, against what Jesus represents?Today we begin a new series on the book of Philippians. It’s a book about joy and thankfulness, but lived in a setting of oppression and suffering. Let’s join Curtis as we begin today’s message.

Today we continue looking deeper into the meaning of communion, to expand our understanding and help deepen our experience with it. We will look at 1 Corinthians 11:26… what does it mean that communion declares the Lord’s death? Why? To Whom? And how does that help us? Let’s join Curtis as we begin our message.

Sometimes our confession or belief says one thing, but in practice we show something different. When it comes to the practice of Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, the early church was forgetting to live out unity and equality in Christ. How do we continue to miss this lesson today? In today’s message, Pastor Curtis is joined by Pastor Steve Pearson from Ochre River, Manitoba. Let’s join our message.

The ritual of Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is a tradition practiced through all of Christian history. Have you ever pondered why Jesus gave it to us? What did he intend that we gain from it? Rather that it just being a time to remember his death, do we need to reframe it as being connection with his life?
