Philippians #1 - Living From Your True Identity
September 8th, 2024
This is the first message in our series going through the book of Philippians verse by verse. A main theme running through this book and series is that of "continuing well"; God finishes what he starts, and he is ready, willing and able to do his part in that. The question is, are we?
This message deals in particular with our identity (who we really are), and how living out our true identity (who God says we are) helps us do our part to continue well.

September 29th, 2024
In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Philippians 1:27-30. This short section of scripture is a reminder for us to check ourselves (before we wreck ourselves!). Specifically, if we're going to continue well, we need to examine ourselves up against the truth and reality of the Gospel.
Philippians #5 - Jesus: Our Example And Lord
October 6th, 2024
In this text, Pastor Braden teaches through Philippians 2:1-11. This text contains a few different principles for what we need in order to continue well, but crescendos to a critically important truth: if we're going to continue well as God's people (the Church), we need to see Jesus Christ for who he really is.
