In this sermon, pastor Caleb looks at Philippians 1:12-18 to discover how we can find joy in our hardships because of the gospel’s advancement.

As we continue our series on Philippians and standing firm in the faith, This Sunday we will study Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving in 1:3-11. We will see a number of practices central to healthy Christian fellowship.

This week we will begin a new series in the book of Philippians. Much beloved as the “Epistle of Joy” or the “Epistle of Excellent Things”, we will see how so many of the themes are relevant to our times. We will have an encouragement to stand firm in the faith. Paul will start by having us think about Christian distinctiveness.

This Sunday we look at John 1 and how we share our faith in a post–christian world.

Tonight, Christmas Eve, we will be thinking about that great promise of Christmas in Isaiah 9. Here we will see how Jesus is the long-expected Prince of Peace in whom we can rest. How timely for the end of a stressful year.

This week we will continue our Advent series celebrating the Long Expected King. We will turn to the book of Zechariah and see how the promise of God’s forgiveness in chapter 3 is fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. We hope that this series encourages us to read the minor prophets and to marvel and God’s faithfulness and all we have in Christ.

For the third Sunday of Advent, we will once again look at an 8th century BC prophet to see how his message pointed forward to the coming of Christ. As Hosea taught us about God’s love and Amos about God’s justice, we will now see that Micah comments on God’s rule.

This Advent we are looking at how Jesus’ coming fulfills the promises God made throughout history. In this sense, we celebrate the long-expected King. This week we will look at the book of Amos and see how God’s righteousness is displayed in the Incarnation of His Son.

This Sunday is the first week of Advent, the celebration of the coming of the Lord Jesus. This year’s theme is The Long Expected King. We will look at a number of Old Testament prophets and see how the coming of Jesus at the first Christmas fulfilled God’s promises. This week we will look at Hosea and see how the love of God is on display in Jesus.

This week, we look into a heavenly conversation between God and Satan as it relates to the lifestyle of Job. How will Job respond to what happens to him? Will he remain faithful and thankful to God in the midst of hardship, or will he curse God and long to return to the days of his prosperity? This is a timely message as we look forward to Thanksgiving and reflect on what we are thankful for in 2020.
