Today, Donnie Berry speaks in the second message of a 10-week series as we walk through the book of Philippians. Today, we begin reading in Philippians 1:6-11. In Philippians, Paul is inviting us to:  1. Consider God’s activities and purposes in creation and salvation. 2. Reflect on God’s calling in our own lives. 3. Embrace a mindset that privileges others above ourselves. This letter, the book of Philippians, includes the themes of Christ as at once humble Lord and supreme paradigm of Christian life; of unity in Christ that overcomes the forces of dissension; of a readiness to suffer for the sake of the gospel that does not rob us of joy in Christ; of the radical difference between a righteousness of our own and a righteousness from God; and of a life of thanksgiving in mutual giving and receiving. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website.  Subscribe to us at our YouTube channel, on Apple Podcasts

Today, Michael Acock speaks in the final week of our Easter 2024 sermon series called "I AM." We look at the statements through the Bible, especially those in the book of John where Jesus calls himself the I AM. Centuries before these statements were written, God had revealed himself to Moses with the decisive statement “I am” or “I am who I am” in Exodus 3:14. Another way to say this is I will be who I will be. God gives a personal name that conveys His dominion over all things, the source of His power, and His eternal nature: I AM. He is the self-sufficient, self-sustaining God who was, who is, and who will be. Throughout the OT, others added to his name “I am (translated Jehovah or Lord) by adding names that clarified his character, such as Jehovah-Jireh (my provider), Jehovah Rapha (the Lord heals), Jehovah Nissi (the Lord my banner), Jehovah Shalom (the Lord our peace), Jehovah Raah (the Lord my shepherd), and more. Then in John, Jesus uses the same name (I am) in talking with the Samaritan woman, when w
