In the second half of Philippians 1, Paul gives a brief update about his own life. He is in prison for sharing Jesus with non-Jewish people, and it is possible his punishment might be death. Yet he quickly pivots to another update: he is sharing Jesus with his guards, and those around him. Paul leans into this idea, that we get to follow Jesus. And that whatever life throws at us, we have the opportunity to live for Jesus.
God renews our minds through the hope of salvation and equips us with His living and active Word. As we close the series, we’ll explore how what we believe shapes how we think, and how Scripture works in us and through us in everyday life. Rooted in Him, we are both formed by His truth and sent out to live it.
This week we will look at several passages that help us to understand who we are. To be created in the image of God is a beautiful blessing full of great joy, but it is also a calling. Join us as we work through what it means: to be a steward, to be a servant, to be gracious, and to be hopeful.
Faith doesn’t remove life’s challenges, but it reshapes how we walk through them. When doubts, fears, and hardships come, faith becomes the way we trust God’s character and promises in real time. We will talk about how a growing, active faith can guard our hearts and help us remain rooted no matter what we face.
