When God Gives A New Perspective
Mar 1500:34:09Tap to summarizeThis week we talk about healthy "vantage points," also knows as healthy perspectives. We serve a God who not only has ways much higher than ours, but he also sees us and understands us. May His ways shape the way we view the world around us-- in our conversations, in grief, and in making difficult decisions. Lord, help us to see things the way You see them. Give us new hope, new faith, and new viewpoint. Help us see things from a healthy and faithful point of view💚
Transcribe →Leaving No Doubt that Jesus is of the Greatest Value
Mar 800:40:16Tap to summarizeA prayer to pray for this week: Lord, help our choices and time management reflect that You are what we value most. May we leave no doubt that Jesus is of the greatest value— with our time, energy, rest, finances, & so on. He is truly of the greatest value🙏🙏
Transcribe →Humility & Asking God for Help
Mar 100:36:45Tap to summarizeThis week we walk through why humility is so important in our walk with the Lord. We need humility if we are going to treat God as the good Father that He is. If we are going to be obedient to the Lord and be honest about how much we need him, we need to confess our shortcomings, pray, fast, worship, seek unity, and remember that our personal preferences aren't more important than honoring the Lord. Let’s ask the Lord to help us keep humility a priority. This week, Pastor Phil walks us through allowing the Lord to remove the unhealthy things in our foundation.
Transcribe →The Value of A 'Yes'
Feb 2200:39:19Tap to summarizeThis week Pastor Phil speaks on the value of a "yes" to the Lord. Don’t overcomplicate serving, as far as what specific area to serve in, etc. We are called to read the Bible, respond to God, and serve God. Our God is alive and active, and the Lord will lead us as we seek to serve Him and glorify Him. He is our Good Shepherd, and He will go before us. Pastor Phil shows us the Truths about the Lord that show this.
Transcribe →Be of Good Courage & Stay Focused
Feb 1500:37:37Tap to summarizeFollowing God isn’t linear lines, which means there are journeys along the way. Have you been discouraged? Are there ways the enemy has tried to distract you and pull away your focus? Are there ways the enemy is trying to intimidate you? This week, Pastor Phil walks us through bringing those things before the Lord, staying focused on His promises, and being of good courage.
Transcribe →What is God's Plan for Your Life?
Feb 100:40:20Tap to summarizeHere's a message for you to watch at home on your snow day! Praying for y'all! Love y'all, and be safe! -- Let's talk about God's plans for us.
Transcribe →Stay Focused On What God Is Doing
Jan 2200:47:25Tap to summarizeLet's stay focused on what God is doing rather than what's going on around us or where we fall short. Many people think that the most ineffective people are the ones with "no talent," but in reality it's those who lack focus on what matters most. Will we lay our lives down for God to build something, or will we just focus on ourselves? What do we care most about and what are we most focused on? The past couple weeks, we have talked about how we must have self-denial in our faith walk with Jesus-- and that includes our thoughts and focus. This Sunday we discuss focusing on what God has done and what He is building, rather than what we don't know and where we fall short.In Nehemiah 2, Nehemiah had faced great opposition, but he trusted that God's hand was upon him and focused on what God had called him to do-- to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. This week, we discuss how to focus on God and His hand.
Transcribe →There is Strength in What God Builds
Jan 1800:42:49Tap to summarizeWho will get low and be humble? God desires to move, but He calls us to be humble before Him. One of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control (or self-discipline). God has given us not a spirit of fear, but one of self-discipline. Maturity is not built in a moment, and we will face opposition. The Bible says that person without self-control is like a city with broken down walls, but we are called to be a city built on a firm foundation. This week we walk through 3 things we are called to do to keep a Kingdom-focus, staying humble and leaning on the Lord's strength.
Transcribe →God Takes Ashes to Victory
Jan 1100:37:56Tap to summarize“He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free” (Luke 4:18)💚 //That's the heart of Jesus and the heart of our message this week. Jesus didn’t come so that we would be somewhat spiritually free. He came to set us completely free. Does it feel like brokenness or oppression has become part of you? Jesus proclaims Good News. There is fullness and beauty from ashes. Pastor Phil prays the Lord uses this message to speak to you today.
Transcribe →For the One Needing Strength This Year
Jan 400:41:26Tap to summarizeFeeling like you're lacking the strength and energy you need to enter into the New Year? This week, we walk through how God's grace fills in the gaps. Pastor Phil shows us three things the Lord offers us so that we can have His strength for things ahead. Thank You Lord that we don't have to operate out of our human weakness🙌
