Our text for today is known as the greatest commandment. Jesus says we need to love God with all our heart, mind, body and soul. If we do that first, it will make keeping the second commandment to love your neighbor as yourself easier; God’s love allows me to love others. Living out the Great Commission starts with our love for God.

What if we stopped “hoping” for the insignificant things and began hoping for the things that matter, the things that last, the things that are eternal? What if we all started hoping for the things that are close to God’s heart? To do this we have to change our perception that hope is some kind of cosmic roll of the dice. Every believer has the opportunity to offer hope to a world that is desperately seeking the hope we have through Christ.

We’re starting a new series called, Mission Rewind. The goal of this series is to recalibrate, to get back on track, to make sure that we have not drifted from our mission. I read a long time ago, in a book that I can’t remember, that churches are in danger of moving from organism to organization. We’re all prone to becoming comfortable; losing our first love. That’s why it’s good for us to look back, so that we can remember who God has called us to be. Today’s message is titled today’s message: The Vision of The Mission.

Scriptures we dive into today: Acts 1:7-8, Matthew 28:18-20

Paul closes his letter to the Philippians with an encouragement to put themselves in God’s care, even in the worst of circumstances. Setting their minds and hearts on things above will bring them God’s guarding peace, assuring them they can do all things through Christ who strengthens them.

Paul wrote this letter to ENERGIZE & ENCOURAGE his audience so that life’s challenges wouldn’t steal their joy & hope in what the Lord has promised & provided for them. Of all Paul’s epistles, it seems as if Philippians is the most consistently positive & personal. It reflects a sense of joyful hope. In chapter 3, Paul reveals several exhortations that help us recognize the basis & benefits of rejoicing in the Lord’s provision & promises for us.

Scriptures we dive into today: Philippians 3, Titus 2:11-14, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Romans 5:13, John 14:1-6

Welcome to our series on the book of Philippians!

In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, one would expect a huge focus on his personal needs, because he’s writing from prison. If I were in Paul’s shoes, I would be writing to the church asking for a lawyer, for people to visit, and hygiene supplies. But Paul doesn’t do that, from Prison, Paul encourages the church to think of the needs of others.

Scriptures we dive into today: Philippians 2:1-11

God gives Abraham the unbelievable task of presenting his son Isaac as a burnt offering. He stops Abraham just in time, presenting him with a substitute and letting Isaac live. This moment of dramatic obedience became part of the story of redemption that led to the sacrifice of God’s son himself.

We’re starting a new series called, Sunday School. The goal of this series is to learn new applications from these familiar stories. In studying Scripture, it’s important to understand that the truth of Scripture remains the same but the way we apply that truth is different depending on what we’re going through. Our Sunday School story for this morning is the Flood.
Scriptures we dive into today: Genesis 6, Matthew 24:36-39, Genesis 7:1-4

Is it bad for us to desire success? Success is not a bad thing. Being successful is a way for the believer to glorify God because your success is a sign that you’re good at what you do! In fact, Scripture says we should work heartily for the Lord no matter who we’re working for. Our successes become a vehicle for us to glorify God. Success becomes problematic for the believer when we start to find our identity and our value in our successes.
