It's Not Easy, But It's Worth It
1w ago00:36:01Tap to summarizeThis week, we launched a series on the book of Philippians, and Pastor Phil walked us through the topics of God continuing to work in our hearts and the importance of praying for other churches.Lord, help us to stay humble and willing to be taught by You. Philippians 1:6 says “I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” So Lord help us to be willing to be worked on from now until Your return, always praying for other churches and believers along the way. Amen.💚

Transcribe →Choosing to Live In the Light
May 2400:33:43Tap to summarizeIn this series we are talking about spiritual maturity, and this week we discuss the importance of choosing to live in the light. Scripture tells us that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. We as humans often think it would be uncomfortable to come into community, be real, and bring things we have struggled with into the light. But bringing things into the light brings healing and forgiveness. Pastor Phil encouraged us to have a moment with the Lord, and maybe call on someone we trust to pray with us. What are we being called to bring into the light this week?

May 1700:45:00Tap to summarizeThis Sunday we discuss endurance and how important it is to endure in our faith. Endurance is remaining under pressure, and it’s formed deeply in difficult situations and seasons. We need the Lord's strength to remain. This week Pastor Phil leads us in a message where we call on the Lord's strength to endure. Lord, give us strength to endure the hardships and know you more closely. We trust that it’s all worth it. Amen.“I would rather get to embrace Jesus with scars and bruises and hear well done good and faithful servant than give up.” - Pastor Phil

Living as Healthy Men & Women of God
May 1000:38:09Tap to summarizeThis Mother's Day Sunday we're walking through what it looks like to operate in our God-given callings as men and women of God. Pastor Phil walks us through what the Bible says about living in our God-given callings, and what it looks like to have a healthy view of the opposite gender. He reminds us that when we love God, we love His design and creation, even if it is different from our preferences.We apologize for the sound issues this week. This will be fixed for next week's livestream. Thank you for understanding!
Transcribe →Church Hurt: How We're Called to Respond
May 300:44:33Tap to summarizeThis week we discussed how difficult it can be when we are hurt by someone in the Church, but also how important it is to respond in the way God calls us to respond. Vertical Church Elder Chad Vance led us to reflect on ways we have been judgmental or sinful ourselves, and led us to have a moment with the Lord to invite Him into those areas. If it's time for you to start operating out of a place of healing instead of a wound, this message is for you. Lord, help us to love You and love our neighbor.
