In this message we look at the Nature of Jesus. From the very first verse in the bible, God chose to reveal Himself in the original Hebrew as "Elohim" which gives us some insights to His nature. The very word Elohim presents a plurality to the nature of the One True God. The next verse tells us the Holy Spirit, who is also God, was active in the creation. John 1:1-3 tells us that Jesus is God and that He was active in the creation of all things....which includes you! John 1:14 tells us that God the Son went from dwelling in heaven to dwelling here on earth. That is what we refer to as "the Incarnation"; God became flesh and moved into our neighborhood! Lastly, we see in Revelation that Jesus is coming back; not as a babe in the manger like He did on Christmas, but as a Lion coming back for those who are His! Listen along to discover some deeper truths about Jesus the Son that will allow you to understand His love in a deeper way!

In this message we explore the Secret of Being Content. In Philippians 4, the apostle Paul says that finding true contentment is actually a secret. Many don't understand how to obtain it but Paul teaches us how we can find contentment in any and all situations. It's simply a matter of learning from God. It's not just a head-knowledge, it's a heart knowledge and a lifestyle. Paul and the Philippians understood this well because they lived lives that were others-centered, which is an important key to contentment. They also modeled it by getting concerned with God's work and entering into God's solutions. The passage also shows us that as we keep God first in our lives, we will find contentment, even in the areas of our finances. The Philippians were very faithful and as a result, they were given an amazing promise in return: that God will supply all of their needs according to His riches and glory. Wow, let's be like the Philippians and get in on that promise! Listen along and discover more. (Philippians 4:10-23)

In this message we explore Philippians 3 where Paul tells us how to become the kind of person that God will do great things through. First, we should re-evaluate our values noting that there are some things in our life and in our past that simply need to get demoted before God has us promoted. Next we need to Identify and take hold of our God given calling because we each have one! Also, we would be wise to forgive and forget what's behind us and holding us back. It's time to start pressing on toward our God-given goals. Then we are reminded to live up to our God given identity as sons & daughters of God. Finally, we are encouraged to look around us and identify the ones who model great devotion and great faith and to follow their examples. Listen along and discover more!

In this message Pastor Scott leads us through Philippians 3:1-11 where we get a close look at Paul's direction and attitude. Paul is telling us to rejoice in the Lord because he knows that there is no other person, place or thing that can bring us joy like the Lord can. Also, to appreciate "Grace" we need to be careful not to add "the Law". Grace plus anything is not equal to grace. Lastly, Paul looks at all his amazing accomplishments in life and concludes that they are like trash when compared to deeply knowing Christ. To line your attitude and aim up with Paul's, listen along and discover more!

In this message we look at how our relationships with our earthly fathers have an effect on our relationship with our heavenly Father. Many people have experienced set-backs with their fathers in the areas of being: a physically absent father, an emotionally absent father, an abusive father, or maybe even not having a father at all. In this message Pastor Brian and Kristi team up to address how we identify and remove the Father Wound so we better restore our view of our heavenly Father. This revelation will open the door for greater intimacy and revelation! Listen along and discover more! (Eph 2:17-18) (Heb 10:19-22)

When you are looking for friends, the best place to start is with God!. Jesus said that those who are committed to knowing God and serving God are friends of God (John 15:14-15). In Philippians 2 we see a snapshot of some amazing friendships in action. Paul is great friends with Timothy and Epaphroditus. What makes the friendships so great is that these guys are all friends of God before they are friends to each other. In this message we unpack what it takes to be a great friend to others and what it takes to be a great friend of God. Listen along and discover more!

In this message we explore how God designed you to shine. When we follow Jesus, God places His light in us. God has a process of turning up His light in us so we can shine brighter and brighter. Sometimes, it takes working some things out of our life so that the light can shine brighter. God's light also burns brighter in us when we step out to enter in the good works that God created for us. Most importantly know that as you are working things out, God's energy will be working powerfully in you to do His will. As you live your life, hold out the Word of God as your guide and walk in faith to its truth. This way you will shine like the stars in this generation! (Phil 2:12-18).

In this message we look at how Humility and Unity can change our lives and make us open vessels for God's power and love to flow through us. In Philippians 2, Paul reminded the believers that they were a family and to keep the main things of our faith the main things. If we lower our "sense of entitlement" and humble ourselves before God, God will actually lift us up... and God-promotion is so much better than self-promotion! So let's humble ourselves in this selfie-generation and let God take us to the next level! Listen along and discover more!
