SUNDAY WORSHIP: On July 28, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 or 11:00 AM. Patrick Edwards will continue his teaching series called CITIZEN, with a message called, “The Author and Perfecter of Kingdom Citizenship” from Philippians 2:5-11.

HERE’S THE DEAL: Leaders, rulers, and champions tend to carry a certain bravado about them. Hyping oneself up and promoting one’s own brand seems to be how one gains followers. Jesus used His power and privilege, though, to serve and give Himself a ransom for the many. This week’s passage shows us how Jesus is both the power and model for Kingdom Citizenship.

Be sure to participate in a Bible study this Sunday at 9:30 or 11:00. Remember that life change happens in small groups.

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT: The Children’s Ministry and Centrikid Camp.

SUNDAY WORSHIP: On July 21, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 or 11:00 AM. Patrick Edwards will continue his teaching series called CITIZEN, with a message called, “The Unity of Kingdom Citizenship” from Philippians 1:27-2:4.

HERE’S THE DEAL: In a country so divided, especially during an election cycle, it seems that there is nothing that people can agree upon today. Jesus empowers His people, however, to live in a different way, for it is through our unity in the cross that a lost world around us will see the truth of the Gospel.

Be sure to participate in a Bible study this Sunday at 9:30 or 11:00. Remember that life change happens in small groups.

1. The Church’s unity is essential to fulfilling its mission (1:27-30)

This is a common theme in the book, the trials and tribulations that came as we follow Jesus. But this isn’t a meant to be a message of doom and gloom. Rather, suffering does three things... 1) Suffering has a redemptive nature 2) Suffering tests our convictions 3) Suffering testifies to the gospel and glory of God.

2. The Church’s unity depends upon a Christ-oriented view of one another (2:1-4)

The Church must demonstrate its Kingdom Citizenship in... 1) Racial Unity 2) Socio-Economic Unity 3) Multi-Generational Unity

On July 14, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 AM or 11:00 AM. Patrick Edwards will continue his first teaching series through Paul's letter to the Philippians. The series is called, “Citizen,” from Paul's letter to the Philippians. The message this week is "The Task of Kingdom Citizenship" from Philippians 1:12-26.

HERE'S THE DEAL: While there are many privileges and benefits that come with citizenship, there are also responsibilities. As we’ve been freely granted citizenship in God’s Kingdom, we now have a calling to represent King Jesus in everything, whether that be in times of plenty or times of hardship.

On July 7, our new pastor, Dr, Patrick Edwards, begins a new series called, Citizen, from Paul's letter to the Philippians. Today he opens the Word of God to Philippians 1:1-11.

1. Into His body that we may walk in His salvation and proclaim it. (1:1-6)

2. Living as a Partnership (1:7-11)

We find that as the love of Christ transforms our lives personally, our church (our koinōnia), as it shapes the way we think and act, this work should find its intended end in the fruit of right living.

A Partnership in the Gospel

1. Shares in the financial support of the mission

2. Loves and cares for one another

3. Grows in the knowledge of God’s Word

4. Produces a holy people

To put it simply, Paul prays that believers would actually look like citizens of the Kingdom.

We maintain our regular schedule except for a church wide cookout after 11:00 worship and Bible study. Today we honor Don’s time with us these past two years.

On June 23, join us for Sunday worship service at 9:30 AM or 11:00 AM. Don Solomon will bring a message called, "The Holy Highway" from Isaiah 35. Remember that 11:00 Worship Kidstyle is taking the summer off, however, we provide care for children from nursery through kindergarten.

Don Solomon will bring a message called, “A Celebration of God’s Goodness” from several Psalms, integrated with celebratory music from the congregation, choir, and praise team. Remember that 11:00 Worship Kidstyle is taking the summer off, however, we provide care for children from nursery through kindergarten. It’s also a time to celebrate our dads on Father’s Day.

The service may appear to be disjointed, but that is because we have omitted most of the the music from this podcast recording (except the theme song, the Goodness of God).

On June 9, join us for our special Sunday worship service at 10:00 AM. Our guest preacher today is Dr. Patrick Edwards, preaching today in view of a call to be our next lead pastor. The message is called, Jesus Loves Me, from John 11:1-16.
