In a world where leaders disappoint and promises fall short, our hearts ache for someone truly worthy of our trust. This week's teaching invites us into the hope of Advent, pointing us to Jesus Christ—the risen, reigning, and returning King our souls have been longing for. Listen in as we reflect on Christ's humility, exaltation, and eternal authority, discovering how His kingship answers our deepest desires for righteousness, justice, and lasting hope. Jesus is the true King who transforms not only our expectations of leadership, but our lives today.

Philippians 2:9-11

9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Why does true greatness feel so elusive in a world obsessed with success and upward mobility? We often find ourselves chasing more—more recognition, more achievement, more status—yet still feeling empty. Philippians 2 offers a radically different path.

This week's teaching explores how Jesus redefines greatness through humility and sacrifice, revealing a victory that turns worldly logic upside down. His descent shows us a way of life shaped not by grasping for power, but by surrender, purpose, and true deliverance.

Discover the transformative freedom of living a cruciform life—and why descending with Christ may be the most meaningful ascent you'll ever make.

Philippians 2:8

8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Why do our hearts still long for more, even when life feels full? This week's teaching, the first of the Advent season, explores how our deepest needs are met not through achievement, but through encountering Jesus. It invites us to reflect on the mystery of God becoming man—stepping into our brokenness, offering hope, and drawing us into true fulfillment. Discover how the Servant King meets us with love, faithfulness, and rescue. Tune in and be encouraged by the hope found in Him.

Philippians 2:5-7

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
