We hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! Now, as the calendar turns, so does our attention to Christmas and the Christmas season. Today, Pastor Aaron starts a new sermon series called "Prepare Him Room", inspired by the song Joy To The World. Each week, we will look at a character from the Christmas story and what each character did, or didn't do, to prepare room in their hearts for God. Today, we look at Zechariah, and his response to the appearance of the angel Gabriel and the proclamation that he and his wife, though well beyond child bearing years, will give brith to a son - who would be known as John The Baptist

Join guest speaker Pastor Ryan Widdel as he continues our book study on Philippians and we learn the meaning of rejoicing in the Lord.

Join Pastor Drew Johnson, Senior Pastor of the Aspen Grove Network, guest teach for us today as Pastor Aaron runs in the New York City Marathon with Team World Vision! We continue our study in Philippians for another week. Today we learn what it means that our citizenship isn't simply to some town, state or country - but to Heaven.

We continue our study on the book of Philippians this week by moving on to Chapter 3. To start this chapter, Paul writes about a topic that he is very passionate about - going "Christ Plus": the idea that we need to do more than believe in Jesus so that we can earn our place in Heaven. Listen as Pastor Aaron goes into the history behind the idea that works - such as circumsision - is what saves us, and why Paul was writing about this topic to the Philippians.

Our Philippians study continues on as we read Philippians 2:19-30, and we learn about Epaphroditus, a member of the Church at Philippi, who volunteered to bring money to help Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome. Paul describes him as a Brother, co-worker and fellow soldier. Can we say the same of ourselves in how we follow Jesus?

Our study in Philippians continues as we hear what Paul has to say on something that every single one of us is guilty of on a regular basis - grumbling and complaining, and how it affects us as followers of Jesus.

Is Jesus your hero? And do you copy your hero? Today's sermon centers around these questions as we examine Philippians 2:5-11, and how Paul uses scripture to show us how to copy Jesus - who happened to be Paul's hero!

Buckle up, because Pastor Laurel guest preaches today to continue our book study on Philippians. She preaches today on how important it is that Christians live in the interest of others instead of our own self-interests - especially in today's world of a "you deserve this" culture.
