Paul shares words of wisdom in chapter 3 of his letter to Philipi. He urges the church to be weary of those who insist the work of Jesus is incomplete and the old covenant must be maintained. He urges us to truly know Jesus and exactly what it means to be alone in Jesus.

As Paul prays for the church in Philippi, he does so from a position of joy. He longs for the church to grow and the believers to carry the attitude of Jesus in their development.

In the conclusion of this series, we explore John 8 and the freedom it promises. Freedom that is only found in Jesus. It is the hope of all experiencing this freedom that has driven the upcoming launch of Celebrate Recovery. They people may experience the truth that sets each of us free.

Pastor Mark Alt, Legacy Pastor at The Bridge Church, shared a message about forgiveness. He shared five things that are not forgiveness and three steps to pursue forgiveness in your life.

Our peace of mind is constantly under attack. Anger threatens to disrupt and hijack our peace. It seeks to make us slaves to sin and take us captive. God's design is one of calm and peace. Jesus challenges us clear all anger (among other things) out of this new creation He has made us. In this message we look at the first act of anger which came shortly after the fall.

Elijah is commonly considered one of the most important prophets of the Bible. Through God he experienced some amazing displays of God's love and provision. He, also, faced some of the darkest days documented in scripture. While the diagnosis of depression didn't exist in Elijah's day, we can see many symptoms of a depressive mood. In this moment we see the love of God and his mighty provision.

In the first message of the Peace of Mind series, we explore the story of Martha and Mary with Jesus in Luke 10:38-42. In the story we see Martha distracted by what she needed to do to prepare of Jesus. However, Jesus was already at her home. Anxiety distracts our attention from Jesus who is there for us. We need to break the chains of anxiety.

In this message Pastor Matt Ennis looks at Psalm 23, one of the most well known Psalms. The psalmist challenges us to embrace his declaration "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." This seems simple, but as we find out is indeed complex. Join us as this message invites you to embrace this truth and seek your shepherd.

Pastor Aaron Johnson took the pulpit to share about loving God, loving people, and making disciples in the context of Ephesians 2:1-10. Pastor Aaron, also, provided an update of the progress at Renaissance Church, a church plant in Lakewood Ranch. In this message he will invite us to share in the ministry of the church.

Psalm 46 is a message of God's immense power. He is the creator and has all power over his creation. He has won the victory over the enemy. Fear is a tool of the enemy to try to make more noise than the soft, sure voice of God. Fear creates lies that try to deceive us. In this Psalm we are reminded that God in control and he calls us to experience spiritual stillness.
