We worship a King and a Father. While it can feel easier to relate to one over the other, we are meant to embrace both sides of God’s nature if we are going to grow in our relationship with Him and understand how we are invited to enter boldly and confidently into His presence. 

Tonight, we talk about having a faith that perseveres, endures, and lasts. We want to be marked by a faith that withstands life’s challenges, distractions, and hardships.

Jesus said He came to see and save what was lost. That His Father sent Him not to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. What does it look like for us to partner with Him in that? What should mark us in light of His mission in the world? 

As the people of God, we want to be marked by a mature faith–one where our roots grow down deep in God, and we are able to bear fruit in all seasons of life.

Relationships are a huge part of our lives and our walks with the Lord. This week, we look to scripture for what God’s heart is for singleness, and chat about how we can live abundantly while single. 

When feeling weary or burdened, the last thing we want to do is add anything to our to-do list. However, the invitation of Jesus to receive rest is followed by the call to take His yoke, His way upon ourselves. True rest requires effort. Following the way of Jesus is the only way that we receive true rest and true life.

While the journey of becoming like Jesus is lifelong and difficult at times, one of the main takeaways from the book of Philippians is that God will finish what he started. We see that God is always holding on to us, even as we struggle and face setbacks along the way.

Tonight, Bob teaches on how our willingness to love and follow the Lord in the midst of suffering is our greatest witness. God is faithful to work through it all for His greater good in our lives.

In this series, we take a look at the letter Paul wrote the Philippians and see how we can apply it to our lives today. This week, we dive into a major theme of Philippians: We are meant to become like Him. Our primary assignment as his followers, as his disciples, is to be like Him.
