We had a special midweek where Pastor Connor answered some of your questions! Pastor Connor shares his testimony and encouragement for students. He addresses some pressing topics and questions revolving around Halloween, money, secular music, friendships, and ChatGPT. Theologically, He also answers questions concerning the validity of God's Word, Jesus' Second Coming, pride, demons, and God allowing bad things to happen. We are thankful for Pastor's wisdom and teaching!

Dylan leads us through this passage emphasizing how we should work out our faith, making it evident that we follow God out of delight. We should work out our faith with a holy fear to honor God, with a holy grip to shine, and with a holy outpouring to find joy. We must live out the gift of salvation that God has gracious given to us. We must cling to God's Word and exude a faithful obedience in following Him.

This is such a powerful passage of God's Word because if Jesus is real to you, there are ways that you must be living your life. Dylan shows us that we must be unified and of one spirit, humble and others-seeking, obedient to Jesus, and worshipping God in everything we do. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, will you be doing it with delight for eternal life or with fear for eternal punishment of death. How are you going to respond in light of this message?

We are called to live our life in a manner worthy of the Gospel, and yet, our lives tend not to back up what we say and believe. So, this presents us with the question, how do we live a life worthy of the Gospel? Philippians 1:27-30 directs us to living our lives with a Godly reputation while standing firm in the Spirit. It also teaches us to live our life with a captivated mind and a God-given confidence. Does your life back up what you say and believe?

In this sermon, Dylan emphasizes the importance of laying down our life so that Christ lives through us. It is evident that living for Christ is communal, costly, and changing. When people look at your life, what do you think they notice, your personality and achievements or Christ in you?

As we walk through these verses, we are challenged to share the Gospel as unified brothers and sisters in Christ, with a collective and joyful motive. We must not share the Gospel out of envy or rivalry or even for our own glory and recognition. What is your motive to sharing the Gospel and how can you celebrate, and not compete for, the Gospel being shared in your schools and communities?

Following the example and power of Paul's Testimony, Dylan encourages the listeners to know that your testimony is also personal, purposeful, and powerful! Despite any circumstance you are in, God is using it to write a beautiful story according to His will for His glory. Are you taking the testimony of God's work in your life and sharing with others to make the Gospel known?

As we dive deeper into chapter 1 of Philippians, Dylan emphasizes the importance of encouragement within community by leading us through three prayers. We pray that you would have a God-sourced passion and partnership with one another, that you would know that God is working in your midst, and that your love for Jesus would overflow. What are some things you are going to begin praying for in light of this passage and sermon?

We kick off a new series through the book of Philippians with a focus on living a life that matters. Dylan walks us through verses one and two where Paul introduces himself and then we jump into understanding the person and life of Paul from Acts 26. Dylan challenges us with three questions: Are you wrong? Is Jesus your Lord? How are you going to respond?

This week, Barrett Jones brings the Word from 1 John about how God simply desires our desire. God wants our hearts above all else! He breaks down verses 15-17 of chapter 2 with an emphasis on how God desires our love and our submission. Are you living in submission to God's will and not your fleshly desires? Do you love the things of this world over God? Barrett challenges us to continue to allow God's Word and the Gospel to realign our desires back to God and to refine us more into the image of Christ.

Brock flies solo in his sermon tonight in our series "By Students for Students". He hits on this command that we have been given to love. 1 John 2:7-11

Dylan and Mitchell share the stage as they walk us through the beginning of chapter 2 in 1 John. Mitchell begins by teaching us how Jesus is the source of eternal life and Dylan emphasizes how today, Jesus is the path to life now! How is your life consistent with the Word of God? Is Jesus the source of your life or are you still searching for other things and people to fulfill you?

As we continuing walking through 1 John, our preaching crew emphasizes what it looks like to walk in the light. Brock, Bryce, and Barrett teach on how walking in the light reflects consistency, humility, and confession. They challenge the audience to live for the Lord in every aspect of your life, to avoid justifying your sin, and aggressively fight sin through confession.

We kick off our new series, "For Students, by the Students" where our preaching crew leads us through 1 John 1. Barrett, Mitchell, and Brock lead us through the first four incredible and dense verses of chapter 1 and help us learn how when we experience God, our lives should have evidence of proclamation, fellowship, and joy. Please forgive our technical issues with the sound and clarity of this sermon, yet the content is amazing!

Nate leads us through chapter 63 and 64 of Isaiah with a challenge to have an expectant heart posture to see God move. To have an expectant posture, we must recognize God's power, cry out for Him to move, confess our sin, and trust in the mighty Word of God. How are you living with an expectant posture toward the work of God?

Jump on this week for a HUGE announcement and encouragement/challenge on how you view parenting. We hope this will be a conversation and prayer starter for you!

Following Thomas's last sermon, which commissioned believers to pursue others, this week, he teaches us how believers should pursue others. The text teaches us that we must prioritize God's Will above all else, pursue every opportunity God gives us, and completely rely on the work of God to move in others' hearts.

Thomas begins a two part series through John 4 where he emphasizes how Jesus pursues others with grace and love. We should follow the example of Jesus by pursuing others even when they are rejected by others, when they may not understand God's teaching, when they are living in sin, and when they are worshipping falsely. Who are you going to pursue for the sake of the Gospel?

Dylan wraps up our Daniel series by teaching how standing strong for God has an impact on those around us, through the examples of Daniel and his friends on the kings. Not only is our stand personal and cumulative, but it also testifies to God's power and peace! How do you specifically see God using your "stand" as a part of His sovereign, good plan?

This week, Dylan follows the example of Daniel and teaches us to be faithful in our work, devoted in our worship to God, and delivered through the power of God. Through being faithful, devoted and delivered, we can deeply impact the people around us for the Kingdom of God just as Daniel did to the King.
