We were blessed to hear from a good friend of Brad’s, visiting from the 49th State. Greg Crawford presented to us what a change in perspective the disciples received after witnessing the transfiguration, a change that we need as followers of Christ as well. A change that propels us back into the world with the wondrous message of Christ.

This is such a wonderful verse that concisely gives us His promise to help us … to do what exactly? We unpack that question as we see in Scripture God’s promise to help us through faith in Christ, focusing on Christ, that there is fruit in Christ to whom be all the glory.

We had an added bonus on the Sunday following VBS.
Connor clearly proclaims his faith in Jesus Christ and God’s Word.
We praise God for this young man and pray for him as he grows in his faith.

The apostle Paul was thankful for the generosity of the church in Philippi toward his ministry, but perhaps not why you would think. He was not concerned about having his needs met, Christ did that even if Paul lacked many things we consider necessities. Rather he thanked God that their generosity was fruit of Christ working in them and through them as a part of their worship. Paul saw that contentment in Christ fueled generosity for Christ.

Part two of a two-part series on “You Are What You Think.” The apostle Paul tackles the two most important conversations – the first is with God and the second is with ourselves. That internal dialogue in our heads and hearts has tremendous influence over us. Thus the Spirit says to no longer be passive in following your thoughts but to redirect and lead those thoughts toward virtues. And to do those things.

Part one of a two-part series on “You Are What You Think.” The apostle Paul challenges our inner dialogue to choose between worry or peace. And that is a challenge for some of us. But God also equips us with reasons to trust Him in spite of the appearances of the circumstances around us. The Holy Spirit knows how to give us His peace that is better.

Single-minded focus and laser intensity are the impressions we get of the apostle Paul from his letters and the glimpses we get from Luke’s account in the book of Acts. Yet Paul is convinced that each follower of Christ should whole-heartedly pursue a closer fellowship with Christ each day. We should strive always forward with Jesus.

Another profound statement from Paul for us to consider a while. Work out that salvation within you for it is God working in you to desire and do according to His good pleasure. We all could use a good workout, especially of our spiritual life in Christ. An evidence of His Spirit in us is the desire to work towards being more like Christ.
Also included is one more graduate being honored. We are thankful and love this generation of young people.

The apostle Paul inspired generations of Christ-followers with his simple but profound life-statement, “for to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” We examine that statement here in Philippians to challenge ourselves to pursue that ideal with all our being as Paul had found satisfying in his day.
It is also a touching time of year as some of our kids (who have been clandestinely growing up) are hitting the milestone of high school graduation. We included some audio as we honor two of our guys transitioning to adulthood. We are indeed blessed with these and many other fine young people.

The message this week is fast and brief. We were blessed to hear Bro. Jay Norton from the Gideons International share about the power of God’s Word to transform lives and their ministry to get the Word of God there. We are thankful to help support that mission, both local and global.
Sorry, but the audio does not contain Bro. Jay but only contains Bro. Brad briefly sharing the importance of investing our lives to knowing God through His Word and sharing Him to the Next Generation. In the audio, we left in a prayer from Mason if you can hear it. He’s a blessing to our church. And it’s a little reminder why you may not hear the entire Sunday morning worship service. Brad is recording the audio with his phone in his shirt pocket.
