While we aren’t in total control of our circumstance, we have within us the ability to cultivate the type of people we want to become. So how do we do that? In Philippians 4:8-9, Paul shows us in practical ways how we can anchor joy down into our bones.

Sermon by Allen Tipping for July 11, 2021.

Philippians 4:6-7 states to "Rejoice always. Don’t be anxious about anything." A verse like this oftentimes is posted to social media feeds in an artsy graphic as it seems like good advice for our virtual world. Yet beyond the screen, applying this scripture to the realities of life can sometimes seem impossible or at least incredibly difficult. In today's sermon, we learn how to put this into practice and make it possible to live by.

Sermon by Tim Olson for June 13, 2021.

In this passage, Paul shows us how our obedience leads to joy. Rather than viewing God as restrictive, when we obey God we grow in His joy towards us, the world’s joy, our leaders’ joy, and our joy.

Feed Yourself

Some Christians talk a lot about getting "fed." Many people choose churches purely based on where they think they are most "fed." While there is value to be found in having people "feed you God's word," without a doubt one of the most important things in the Christian life is learning to feed yourself.
