An unrivaled passion for Jesus and the gospel message is fully demonstrated by the Apostle Paul, as he pens a letter to the church of Philippi while imprisoned in a Roman jail. His message of the completed work of Jesus Christ offers believers a new perspective on some old beliefs, reiterating the promise of eternal security for those new Christians. Pastor John opens up a series on the book of Philippians this week with an exuberant message of our salvation plan, an unstoppable victory procession from election to glorification. When believers receive the gospel call away from this world, we undergo an amazing spiritual process of regeneration, where we receive a new heart, a new life, and a new desire to shift our time and our resources to building God's kingdom and serving others. The sanctification process is a challenging one for believers because the battle of the flesh rages there, but those biblical promises of eternity are worth this wild and joyful mission for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Just outside the Garden of Eden Cain was the first man born into a world of sin, and through him, the ancient texts of the Bible show mankind's first demonstration of refusal to fight against one's own sinful nature. God pronounces His sovereign and righteous judgement on those who let arrogance and pride rule over their heart, yet in His infinite mercy, He offers grace to those who humbly repent and seek forgiveness. Listen this week as Brett Gossett shares a passionate sermon on overcoming our own selfishness through the process of sanctification, while presenting some tough questions regarding the sins we choose to hold onto tightly. He encourages fellow believers, who are saved by grace and marked by love, to walk in humility and selflessness, knowing that our true value comes solely from our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Highly valued women are viewed as essential to the early Christian church and are honored in the Bible for their obedience to their faith. In the Apostle Paul's heartfelt conclusion in his letter to the Romans, he commends the worthy efforts of the community of like-minded believers, who have shared their faith and their services while on a focused mission for the gospel. In stark contrast to the modern-day "Boss Babe" culture that encourages dominance, pride, and competition, the Bible clarifies a woman's role in the family, the church, and the community, encouraging a noble servanthood with godly attributes. Listen as Pastor John acknowledges the benefits of women's leadership in building the ancient church and encourages us to celebrate the gifts and contributions of today's women in our Christian communities.
