We've been reading Philippians 4:13 all wrong. What if the most famous verse about strength is actually a verse about surrender — and a far better kind of strength?

We are being catechized by our consumption, formed by what we consume. Philippians 4:8–9 calls us to a different kind of mind — one shaped by the cross and captivated by Christ.

From a prison cell, Paul commands us to rejoice — not because everything is fine, but because the tomb is empty. On Easter Sunday, we discover why resurrection changes the architecture of our interior lives.

When Paul names two leaders publicly and calls them to reconcile, he’s showing us that unity isn’t managed — it’s made possible by the gospel that holds us together.

Most of us don't slow down for Good Friday. But that's exactly why we gather. Join us April 3 at 6 PM at McDowell Elementary to stand at the foot of the cross together — and to go back into our neighborhoods marked by something real.

We are formed by what we behold. In Philippians 3, Paul calls us into a communal, embodied pattern of imitation — fixing our eyes on Christ and on those who are walking faithfully toward him.

In Philippians 3, Paul — a twenty-five-year disciple — says he hasn’t arrived. Neither have we. And that’s not a failure. It’s the shape of the Christian life.

In Philippians 3, Paul invites us to stop assembling a résumé for God and receive the life already given in Christ — the only life truly worth having.

In Philippians 2:19–30, we rethought what real maturity looks like. Together, we learned that heaven honors quiet faithfulness and nearness to Jesus — not platform or performance.
