Joy, Part 9: The Contentment Paradox - Pastor Joel Schmidgall Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

The Apostle Paul reveals one of the great mysteries in the book of Philippians: The secret of contentment. In learning and understanding what true contentment is, we find tension with our cultural understanding. It’s not attained by just accepting whatever happens. It’s also not attained through hard work and achievement. Contentment is found through a combination of both – finding peace in who we are and what we have while pursuing that which God has called us to pursue. It’s in this endeavor that we realize the strength of God in our pursuit and begin to live in true contentment. We hope you’ll join us as we wrestle this challenging passage!

Joy, Part 7: The Upside Down Mindset - Pastor Joshua Symonette Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

Mindset is defined by Merriam-Webster as a mental attitude or a fixed state of mind. Our mindset is what determines what we do and how we engage the world around us. The Apostle Paul wrote to Jesus followers in a place called Philippi, in part, urging them to be spiritually mature and not to pursue Earthly things. Instead, he encouraged a heavenly mindset, in pursuit of God's calling. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Joy, Part 6: The Greatest Risk - Dr. Mark Batterson Jul 10, 2021

Joy, Part 5: Shine Brightly - Pastor Heather Zempel Jul 03, 2021

Show notes

Throughout Scripture, light is used as a symbol of God's presence. It sparks life, inspires hope, and points to God's goodness, faithfulness, and beauty. God also commissioned his people to be a light to the nations. In his letter to the church at Philippi, Paul commends the believers for their obedience and commands them to continue shining brightly in the darkness of suffering and in the confusion of the culture.

Joy, Part 3: Living Inside Out - Dr. Mark Batterson Jun 19, 2021

Show notes

Are you living outside in? Or are you living inside out? In a culture that is divided by racial tension and political polarization, we stand in the gap as peace makers, grace givers, truth tellers, tone setters, and joy bringers. We love those who hate us, pray for those who persecute us, and bless those curse us. And when we do, it provokes questions for which the gospel is the answer. We don’t take our cues from trending hashtags. We live according to our biblical convictions. We don’t reflect the attitudes and opinions of those around us. We shift the atmosphere with faith, hope, and love. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Show notes

Will I ever truly find happiness, contentment, or joy? In Philippians 1, Paul gives the context and purpose that are critical to being able to answer that question for yourself, as well as being able to keep that discovery alive.

Joy, Part 1: Choose Joy - Dr. Mark Batterson Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

Joy. It’s not getting what you want. It’s appreciating what you have. Joy isn’t always the easiest choice or the obvious choice, but joy is a choice. The Apostle Paul said, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, rejoice!” And his life is louder than his words. Paul writes his letter to the Philippians from a prison cell. You can choose joy anywhere, anytime, anyway! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Stirred, Part 5: Stoke The Fire - Pastor Joel Schmidgall May 29, 2021

Show notes

Do you know there is more to you than you realize? A pile of wood, logically, is a pile of wood. But a pile of wood, when heat and oxygen are added, becomes a bright, warm, and glowing fire.
You are who you are. But when you add the Spirit of God to who you are, you become a bright and glowing example of His love and light. There is a spark of faith in each one of us. It’s when we “fan into flame the gift of God” that faith becomes something combustible.

The question is HOW do we fan into flame God’s gift?
Join us as we wrestle through this important question in seeking to become who God destined us to be.
