Philippians 2:1-11: Being Right vs the Church (The Reason for Church)

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on why the body of Christ still matters.

Over the past several decades there has been a great shrinking of confidence in many institutions, including the church. Throughout the month of May, we are going to examine what the Church was designed to be while acknowledging her flaws. We will examine our presumptions, perhaps revealing a naive faith in individualism. What benefits might still be beautiful and redemptive in being part of a community of sinners made and being made new? Join us in looking at The Reason for Church.

Psalm 18: Reflecting on the Lord our God (The Heart of a King)

Welcome to the 44th sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel.

In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn’t go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God’s story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God’s to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction.

Join us through the books of 1&2 Samuel as we look at the stories of prophets, kings and peasants being shaped and formed by God’s crucible of power.
