This Sunday: 

"Unity and Humility"

Philippians 1:27-2:4

In-person and Live Stream to Facebook at 10:30 AM



Good afternoon,

Have you ever felt rejected? Alone? Or like the only person who is going through what you are going through? I know for myself I have felt like this many times throughout my life. As a person who struggles with depression and an inner monologue that challenges the truths of God’s Word and His promises, I know that I am not alone in my struggles. It is because of the promise of what Jesus did on the cross, that I am made righteous, and I am a part of a family of believers that experience the same things that I do every day. Though many of us feel distant, alone, and isolated due to our struggles, we invite you to join us as we explore what it means to be united in Christ in our sufferings. Beloved, you are not alone. Join us this week and be reminded of the promises of God, the unity that you have in the body, and the victory that you have in Christ.

Be encouraged by this scripture from our reading this week from Philippians 2:1-2, “Your life in Christ makes you strong, and his love comforts you. You have fellowship with the Spirit, and you have kindness and compassion for one another.  I urge you, then, to make me completely happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and being one in soul and mind.”.
