Phil began our Missions Sunday series called A Church in Harmony. In this first of three messages, Phil explored why harmony is pleasing to the ear and what missional harmony looks like between various partners in God’s kingdom.

We often focus on our failures, but we serve a faithful God who sees our goodness. Josh Kingcade brought a message of hope that God’s faithfulness is greater than our failures.

Phil preached a stand-alone sermon called A Strange Relationship. In this message, Phil reflected on Jesus’ understanding of death in John 11 and how this chapter can help us as we struggle with the passing of our loved ones. 

Phil preached a sermon called Contemplate. This sermon will flow out of our spiritual growth series and reflect upon the Paul’s words of transformation out of 2 Corinthians 3. Phil explored six different pathways that help us journey deeper into the heart of God.

Join us as Mitch tells us about the promise God made and how He made it come true.

Phil continued our series called Grow. In this message, Phil looked at the older brother in Luke 15 as a paradigm for the second half of life. Phil explored what these long middle years of responsibility look like, the kinds of temptation and sins that go with them, and the unique opportunity for growth they offer.

Phil continued our Grow series with a message about Mary the mother of Jesus. Twice in Luke we are told that Mary, “treasured these things in her heart.” What exactly does this phrase mean and what spiritual posture might it represent? Phil explored Mary’s practice of pondering and how it is a sign of spiritual maturity.

Phil began a new follow-up series to our school year theme. It is called Grow and will focus on how discipleship looks different depending on our stage of life. There are unique opportunities that arise and temptations that lurk in each new season of life. Over the next few weeks, Phil will explore these stages, with this first week being a study of how young people follow Christ.

Nobody likes to wait, even when we can honestly accept that waiting has its benefits. The issue might not be that we don’t see the benefits of waiting, but rather, we don’t see the beauty of waiting. Sunday, Daniel showed us the spiritual practice of waiting provides space for us to sit and delight in the presence of God as we learn to trust Him.

Sunday, Phil preached on the Great Commission. He talked about how this central passage shares key insights into Jesus’ purpose as well as our participation in it. He explored why it is challenging to carry out this vocation and give some practical ways to get started.
